18. It's only one bolt.

Do a quick search for steering column link - here's one:
https://www.amazon.com/Intermediate-Universal-Expedition-8L1Z-3B676-8L1Z3B676A/dp/B07VFZ7K5J/ref=sr_1_3?crid=35OQB7A4F6FTL&keywords=steering%2Bcolumn%2Blink&qid=1681249331&sprefix=steering%2Bcolumn%2Blink%2Caps%2C143&sr=8-3&th=1

There is a bolt on each end, one end connects to the steering box, the other the steering column. Just take out the one bolt and slide the joint (the part that bends) off. The wheels will straighten right out as soon as the truck is pulled. easy peasy
