but the turning is wayyy loose and it pulls to the right like hell
its driveable but my 79 i had was perfect compared to this i have not checked it as its dark here now and dont have any light but i was just seeing if i can get some opinions on what this could possibly be thanks

Could also be lose wheel bearings. Put it up on jack stands grab the tire top and bottom and see if it has any play in it.
Before you put it up get someone to turn the steering wheel and see if there is anything moving that shouldn't be tie rods and stuff. Also go under the hood and look at the rag joint just above the steering box.
I really hate adjusting the steering boxes.
