Canada 88 4x4 troubles

Recently purchased 88 PU 4x4 truck for use in the bush. Manual trans and locking hubs. Last weekend on the way into the camp there was haeavy snow conditions so I put it in 4WD. The truck was very difficult to steer, always pulling to the right on and off. Any ideas where to start looking? thanks for any help

Check your power steering fluid and your front end probably needs to be aligned. I used to have an 1988 Toyota P/U- I loved it!!! Here is a picture of it:

Just had the alignment done when the truck was certified (replaced tie rod and 2 ball joints but my power steering just started making whinning noise recently. Thanks for the help.
P.S. Your 88 is much nicer to look at then mine
