Ok, well I had a good look at the Mueller steering inspection guide and from his description/picture of the spline bolt position on the U-joint I believe my steering box could be 60 or so degrees off center. I intend to correct this if I can.

As I understand it, the pitman arm and the drag link have to be separated so I can center the box - I'm guessing I need a pickle fork to do that?
