West, great advice about checking it out now, single largest cause of sloppy steering and kind of rare to find one that doesn't need attention. They didn't all have a zerk fitting, some were just "lubed for life". I've been involved in changing two of them, we didn't have to remove the radiator but did make a small tackweld at the upper end to facilitate removal, and then break it loose later. Not what I'd call a fun job - took about 4 hours to change it. Parts were from the Flackmaster.
