how much play is allowed in the universal joints before they need replacing?

that ain't u joint play that is rear end gear slop or spline slop. U-joint play would have a sloppy, wiggly, non firm in a straight line feel and would vibrate the heck out of you and your truck as the play would not allow the drive shaft to remain in a straight line as it rotates. in other words, a sloppy u-joint would allow the drive shaft to flex all over the place at one end or the other of the drive shaft, but would not allow very much excess rotation.

Not to mention that little sqeaky noise they make at low speeds when they're really getting badly worn.
