81 yota pulling to right bad

My 81 4x4 is pulling to the right bad. At 25 if I take my hand off the wheel in less than a truck and a half legnth it will be in the ditch. Also at 50 to 55 is has a bad shake in the steering wheel. I have tried 2 sets of tires 2 sets of wheels and it drives the same. It is all stock with 235/75/15 tires. It was my moms truck before I got it so it hasn't been wheeld at all. I think it might be the wheel bearings any suggestions? Thanks

Check the wheel bearings(you are probably in need of some maintenance anyway)
Spring bushings, tie rods, tie rod ends

Mine did the same thing. Front axle had moved. The hole in the center of the spring pad was oblonged, and let the axle move.

worn inner knuckle bearings , or even a sticking caliper will cause this as well ..
