Tell us about your truck. For example is this a 67-70 that you have converted to 5 lug, and maybe swapped over to a 71-72 front Steering setup? Maybe added power steering to a 67?

Sounds (to me) like something in the steering is binding up. Or the geometry is at an extreme angle when you turn.

Can you turn the wheel all the way to the lock, then turn the truck off, and maybe post up a few pictures of how it looks as it's turning? Maybe some pictures of the UCA / LCA in relation to the spindle?
