Roof rot, cowl cracks, floors rotted out,steering coupler play at steering box, rockers rusted & cr@pily repaired, pump "played" with, steering box mount plate cracked are my 1st go to thoughts.

check the turbo and shaft play, and take the afc cover off the pump and see if it looks stock inside there.
