Steering ratio

Hello, this is my first Ford truck. I seem to have a problem with the steering.
You know when you get into a newwer car the steering is responsive and tight. But every older ford I have been in car or truck has steering more like a boat. No feeling and the responce is way less thatn what I would like. I think this is due to the ratio of the power steering. Are there more ratios availiable to us F series truck owners?
I have a 1980 F100 if it help.
Thanks again.
