On the rack and pinion steering gear there is a short shaft that couples with the steering column shaft by a flexible joint. Similar to a u-joint. To check it, get under the truck and push back the rubber protective boot where the steering column comes out of the firewall. Look for the flexible joint and check if it is binding or loose. Someone may need to turn the steering wheel back and forth while you watch it. You may need the front wheels raised to observe its turning action. There is a pinch bolt that secures the joint to the rack and pinion stub shaft, it may have come loose or the joint may be bad.

do you know if you have a limited slip rear diff?
if you do your grease is worn out or if the fluid was replaced it need to have a friction modifier put in the diff (can be found at any auto part stores.)
if its not a limited slip diff you might have spider gears going bad. then you need to remove the cover on the diff and inspect your spider gears
and these are the spider gears
and this is what a limited slip looks like
good luck

You'll want to put it in a vice and heat it up untill the plastic oozes out. Then use a drift to knock out the u-joint one way then pull out the bearing cap and then same thing back the other way.Clean the holes with some emory cloth before installing the new one.

That sounds like a malfunction with the ignition module inside of the distributor, and you can remove the ignition module and have it tested for free at most auto part stores.
If you do purchase a new ignition module be sure that it does come with a silicone grease or a die-electric compound because it is a heat sink and the ignition module will burn up without it.
To install the new ignition module first clean out the mounting surface inside of the distributor. Then completely coat the metal contact surface under the ignition module with the silicone grease or die-electric compound and do not leave any of the metal contact surface of the ignition module un-coated with the silicone grease or die-electric compound, and be very careful not to over-tighten the ignition module.
