Power steering issue.

Yes yes I know that there is a forum dedicated to steering and such... but I am posting here in the dent forum anyway So i have this 75 F250 2X4 that I recently got. I put a belt on the power steering (there wasnt one on it) filled it up with fluid and fired her up. It turns easily to the right and hard as he!! to the left. Anyone ever experienced this? Im not completely sure on how the power steering system works so I figured Id ask before I start tearing into it...Thanks fellas

That's usually indicative of a control valve out of adjustment and/or the hydraulic lines are crossed.

EDIT: disregard the above, i read 4x4 instead of 2x4
