If you rev up the engine at a stop is it easier to turn? If so that'd be my first guess

It gets easier to turn anyway when you go faster even without power steering. I think your pump is probably dead or the shaft broken.

try flushing your steering box fluid. Ford says to do it at least once at high mileage or old age. There is no filter for this oil so it will get dirty with wear. make sure and use proper motorcraft fluid!
