The easiest way to replace the U Joint on your truck is to take the drive shaft loose from the rear axle by the four bolts that hold it on, then you can pop out the the rings on the sides of the U Joint to pop out the Joint. Be careful not to displace the pins in the bearing caps. The best way to do this is to run some tape around the two caps while on the Joint when taken out. Then replace.

I have a lot of play in the steering wheel

Provided as to wether or not your model has a steering damper (if smo, may likely need replacing) and the ball joints check good, it may be likely that you have a worn steering gear. Many types are adjustable or rebuildable.

I've replaced many ball joints, and never used a torque wrench. Just make them tight. If yours are the type with cotter pins, then you make it tight and slip in the cotter pin.
