Re: Newbie question

First off you have a beautiful truck, and welcome to the forum. On the steering column issues, it sound like the upper area needs a rebuild, but another thing to consider is if the steering wheel is attached facing straight ahead. If it was installed on the column not facing upright, that can also cause the problem of having to hold the turn lever down as the cancelling cam will be out of position if the wheel is crooked.

Overfilling the radiator won't hurt anything, it just pukes out the excess. If you can't find a leak anywhere and the oil looks okay, pull the spark plugs and look at them. The engine could be "drinking" the coolant due to a blown head gasket, and most likely the plugs will show the evidence.
