If you have the traditional brake booster with the vacuum line going to the manifold then you do NOT have Hydroboost. The hydroboost unit is normally installed where that brake booster is installed behind the brake master cylinder.
But yeah, inspect and replace where needed. For the road walking on the highway, that would be bad idler and pitman arms OR the gear box. To rule out the idler and pitman arms, lay under the truck while someone else turns the wheel, if there is ANY play up and down at ALL in the idler and pitman arm then they need replaced.
The gear box CAN be adjusted using an adjustment screw on the shaft side of the box. righty tighty lefty loosey and adjust as needed. If the adjusting then doesn't work replace the gear box, but I would leave that for after you have worked on the rest of it as it is less common than the other items.
