Thanks for the write up, Tx! I rebuilt the suspension on my 84' C10 about a year ago and it's been getting progressively sloppier. I guess all the fresh new tight hardware put a little extra load on the rag joint and finished er' off. Tons of slop in the joint when I look under the hood and have someone turn the wheel. I'd heard some people saying Dorman's full replacement has the nub backwards so the steering wheel is off, so this seems like the best route to go. Thanks again!
