55 F100 Project - Steering Gearbox Question

Hi, So I just received the Toyota PS setup for my truck. No quiet the bolt in as advertised, but with a little grinding and sweating and cursing, it's finally in. The question I have is "zero"ing out the box, not even sure that's the right term, but I want to make sure that I have the same turning radius for both directions left / right. Has anyone does this and any suggestions?

The correct way to adjust the steering is to get the wheels centered, then make sure the steering box is centered, then move the wheel on its shaft to center the wheel. The last bit of crookedness is taken out with the drag link.
