Steering Issues

I have the whole front suspension from an 86 truck under the front of my 68 truck. I believe its everything except the actual frame rails. I am having an issue with my steering, my truck steers fine to the left, but not to the right. I noticed today that from the straight position, I can turn to the left and see the rag joint on the gear box turn about 2 full turns and about 1/4. Back to the center position and I can only turn it to the right about 1 full turn and maybe 1/8. Shouldn't they turn equally to both sides? And how many turns total from left to right should there be? I am counting about 3 and a half turns total from left to right. I was thinking maybe there was an issue where they didn't put the steering box right in the middle of the turns when they put this together. Any advice would be appreciated. I can post some pics of the steering box that is in there if that would help.
