It sounds like everyone is in agreement that all the front end issues need to be addressed before you dive into the steering box. I had similar conserns with excessive "play" in our '41. I took it to a good alignment shop and let them do their thing adjustment wise and 90% of the play went away. On radials, I switched to radials on both the Clipper and our '52 Mayfair. There was a HUGE difference with the Mayfair and SOME improvement with the Clipper. The width of the tires is probably the reason. I like the radials for tracking reasons, expecially on heavilly "rudded" roads. They go straight as an arrow now and don't jump in and out of the ruts! Stopping is better too.....
