Steering box slop

I just picked up a '95 F150 with 161k. I thought the front end was a bit loose so I was expecting the inspection guy to tell me I needed some linkage parts. They said it was fine. They failed the power steering hose for leakage and when I was changing it I noticed that all the slop is in the box (someone told me the boxes never go bad, guess not). Is there a doc on adjusting it? I know my Nissan had a threaded adjuster on top and I'm hoping this truck does too.

Check the Steering Box Rebuild link in my signature, you'll find most of the info you need there, the Steering Box can be adjusted, but it has to be done very carefully.
