Could be several things. Most likely cause is a broken tie rod end. (Be advised that when one element of the steering geometry fails, all of the other components are well worn as well).

Testimonial: "we already had the truck in the shop once already this year with an engine issue i don't remember what it was that ad to be replaced"

Ok this is better question then the first one A) can he turn the steering wheel easily like normal/if yes move on to B) or is it very hard to turn // if it's this the power steering pump may have failed or has no fluid in it or the pressure sensor failed for power assist or the actual module for it B) when he turns the steering wheel do both wheels turn together or just one wheel moves // if only 1 wheel moves there's a broken tie rod either the inner or the outer has failed and detached from the spindle or the inner is bent from hitting something and can't move because it's contacting the frame or it snapped off the center link C) the pitman arm has broken and neither wheel moves when turning the steering wheel or the steering gear box it's attached to has failed D)the king pins in the spindle have broken that hold it to the iframe is the tire/wheel sre rated and bend over or is it stuck turned in/out and has seized if so disconnect the tie rods and try to move the wheels in/out by hand the one that doesn't the pin is seized inside from no grease and has dug into the spindle or the I beam frame post back with more information and let your step dad be there to explain it as you post ok

Clip or the clamp for my car to go into gear is missing

mcdevito75 here, BEST BET, simply have your car towed to an auto repair shop in your area, even if you had this part can you install it and if you can how are you going to handle the broken key in the ignition switch. Even I don"t know the name of this part fpr the transmission , but it is the locking linkage to the transmission shfter, Once at the shop they will handle this Grommet and the ignition switch.

2005 Ford 5.4 Super Duty

Your issue would actually be with your transfer case I believe, do not tow in 4 wheel drive. A 5.4 super duty can pull a house on skids.... ask previous owner if rear differential has been swapped out as well. Just as an after thought, first make sure your camper brakes are not engaged...if it has brakes.

check out the steering stabilizer(it's the shock on the steering linkage) for wear. If it shows signs of leakage replace it.
