That sounds normal to me, but you can get play in the steering rack bushings, most replace them with Prothane or ES bushings and be done with it, might aswell replace the anti-sway bar links and bushings with prothane and ES bushings well your at it.

In 414,000+ miles, I've replaced my rack bushings, sway bar end link bushings, upper ball joints, and lower ball joints multiple times. Additionally I've adjusted the steering rack at least a half dozen times and replaced the upper control arm bushings once.
Unless you know how well the truck was maintained, it could be one item, or the result of various worn components that were neglected for 18 years.

Then we all have a different idea of a shake .
To me a Shake is when any thing in the cab not secured flies several inches into the air and keeps bouncing to things stop.
if your not paying attention the steering wheel gets yanked out of your hands
