The Ford Barn

Hello, just got a 38 ford truck. The steering is a little wonky. I would call it stiff and herky-jerky. Now, I don't know if this is just because of the bias ply tires, but my 39 steers smooth as silk.

I am going to start by replacing the grease in the steering box. Does anybody have and recommendations for this? It will be my first time doing this. If fluid or grease is in there, should I flush it out?

Can you help me identify the 4 bolts?

And I know this question has been debated (leaving me with more questions than answers) but what kind of grease would you put in there? John Deere Corn Head has been recommended.
