Check the mounting bolts of the steering box and center link, sometimes they work loose.

If you adjust the steering box follow the factory manual exactly. If you don`t do it right you can wear out your steering box in a month.

An alignment will sharpen up the steering and make it work easier.

Fifties cars had looser steering than new cars to begin with. You know those old movies with car scenes, where the actor is sawing the wheel back and forth like the tiller of the Queen Mary. That is not hammy over acting, they really did steer that way. 4 inches or so of play is nothing to worry about. You soon get used to it.
