Slack/play where ... in steering wheel? If there ... check/replace the rag joint ... adjust backlash in/rebuild steering box ... check spline wear at pitman arm-to-steering box.

That adjusting backlash, my box has not been rebuilt to my knowledge can slack still be adjusted for normal wear?

Yes, the box has an adjustment on top ... for taking up some of the slack/play/backlash ... if your box ain't too bad off it may very well take up all of it. G'LUCK
