I love this story you have going here (not over yet, right?) and would love to help in that way. Nice looking truck!

That is very kind of you! It's got 145k miles, so it's probably time. All of the slop appears to be south of the steering shaft, but I don't know exactly how to assess it from there. I did buy the factory service manuals, so I'll have a look at those and see if I can more accurately diagnose. I'd hate to take a part out of circulation if it's not needed. If there is a quick way to know for sure, I'm all ears.
