79 f150 steering problems

Hey guys newby to this site but not to the forums. I belong to f150forum.com as well. However, over there, I can't get a response to this question. Seems like not to many old truck owners. So here goes! I bought a 79 f150 and when you turn the steering wheel the body of the truck( more or less the truck itself) seems to move. As in turning the steering wheel moves the truck instead of the wheel. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Shot to hell body mounts under the core support, cab corners, ect.

Have somebody else move the wheel while you watch what shouldn't be moving.
