Thanks Bill, maybe my message just didn't make it out. Permit me
to spam everyone again (I promise not to make a habit of it...)

There is a lot of play in the steering wheel, like maybe
1/4 of a turn or so. Is this normal, or should I start looking
at fixing up the steering box and other steering parts? If
there is supposed to be some play, has anyone tried a steering
stabilizer (one of those shock-looking things that modified
4X4s use), or would this just make the steering effort harder?

As for seatbelts, it looks like I can hook up the shoulder straps
to the support brace running around the back of the cab. But I'm
not sure if it would be high enough to be comfortable. I'm just
gonna have to sit in the truck and see what works...
