    Some of these trucks rust at the frame by the gear box and get weak. Might be something to check.

    I would check the steering box.  Especially one of those old Dakota's.

    Most steering pulls are a direct result of a Tire separating. eather due to the age of the tire or impact.

    I have seen this many times over. Customer comes in with a complaint of a vibration or a steering pull.

    Alignment can affect a pull, but only if there was a impack to a curb or such. Due to bent or broken parts. 

    I recommend starting with checking Tire dates and tread wear. Look for substantial cracking in the sidewalls and tread surface.

    Tires over 7 years old are already past the expected life. Replace if that's the case.

    Straightens What? The Wheel or steering Wheel? 

    Do you do Aligment?

    Do you Check Tire Pressure or Tire Wave?
