OEM Manual?
Dummkopf! After pulling the steering wheel and the lock cylinder, I saw that "indexing" the drive on the rack might involve more fiddly parts than I wanted to deal with in the 30 minutes before the sun went down. So I opened up the OEM service manual and found the procedure for aligning the switch down below on the column - inserting a pin, loosening the switch mounting bolts, finding the 'off' position with the key, etc. Not too hard.
But then it hit me! The ACC position on this old truck is found by rotating the key BACKWARDS, not halfway forward like every other vehicle I've owned in the past 15 years (including my 2003 Chevy Trailblazer - not just Jap vehicles!).
If only all repairs were this easy, but I still feel like an idiot!
