alignment question

I replaced the draglink on my 83 F-250 today, and I lost count of how many turns it took to remove it from the right tie rod. Now the steering wheel is off center to the right almost a quarter turn. Which do I need to adjust the tie rod to get it back to center? Hopefully I only have to get under there one more time, there is two feet of snow on the ground and 17 degrees. And no garage.....Thanks for any info.

If the wheel was centered before,then you have too much toe-in,now.Turn the sleeve outward(looking at it from the front of truck)pull "TOP" of sleeve towards you.This will get it close,then take to an alignment shop asap.
