Best would be to swing by a parts store for a free error code-scan. See what comes up.

But it could be a wheel sensor, or possibly a steering angle sensor, or another sensor... But start with a code scan which should help narrow down.

Exactly. Step 1 is always to see what codes are stored and go from there. There is a good chance all of the issues are related....meaning you started with one problem and that single problem is causing all of the other warning lights. But again, we need to see what codes you have.
Do you have any driveability issues or other obvious issues, besides just the lights being on, with the truck. Is if acting or driving weird?
After checking the codes and recording what they are I would seriously consider erasing them to reset the light, go drive it some, and see what ones come back. That is assuming there isn't some obvious issue you notice while driving.
You typically get a lot of responses along the lines of "my cousin's neighbor had a truck one time that had an ABS light and he replaced a wheel speed sensor, so you should do that". I do not recommend just randomly throwing parts at it hoping you get lucky. You don't have to do super in depth diagnosis on the truck but starting with the codes and some basic information will at least point you in the right direction, and possibly rule out some items that are definitely not causing the issue.
Also keep in mind that the codes do not tell you exactly what is wrong or what part may need fixed or replaced. Just because it has the term "left front wheel speed sensor" in the description that does not guarantee the sensor itself is bad. It just is saying the signal coming from that circuit is out of the normal range. A bad wire, loose connector, the tone ring on the hub, etc....could be what is bad. You can replace the sensor all you want in that situation but it won't fix the problem. Randomly slapping on new parts and sensors can also make it more difficult to trace down the real problem. I've seen people create a new, or more, issues by doing that. Meaning the replaced a perfectly good sensor with a bad one (just because it's new doesn't mean it's good....and cheapo aftermarket sensors common at big autoparts chains are sometimes questionable).
