If you can slide under the truck, have someone move the steering wheel from side to side, enough to get past the play. Look at everything that is moving and better yet feel it with your hands. Are both ends of the drag link and tie rod end tight ? Is the steering box tight against the frame ? Try to identify any worn parts.

Jack up the truck and put a bar under each tire. Is there any up and down or side to side movement ?

When was the last time your toe in was checked. A poor adjustment there can make the front end wander.
