Have someone work the steering wheel with you under the truck and try and pinpoint the noise that way.

Ball joints, among other things, will squeak like crazy when they're shot...

Idler arms will squeak too when out of grease.....

Is it a metallic sound or other? Does it occur while driving, not driving, or both? Are you sure it's not just a loose/glazed/worn drive belt..
