Alignment: The truck pulled to the right pretty hard before, particularly when I stomped on the brakes. That's what led to the brakes overhaul. Now that that is taken care of, the only thing I still have is a slight drift to the right when the steering wheel is at dead center. What's odd is when I let go of the wheel, the car tracks straight - so I'm thinking the steering wheel itself needs to be checked? Also, noticed there is still a bit of 'play' when i turn the wheel an inch or two to the right or left and nothing happens...

The alignment shop should have taken care of centering your steering wheel when they did the alignment.

The play in the steering should be able to be adjusted out. There is a set screw on the top of your steering box that adjusts the backlash on the gears in your box. It's an easy process & there should be a thread or 2 on the process.
