I was looking back through my thread and saw my CHEAP steering shaft upgrade to get rid of the rag joint ;' I forgot to mention.
I found a f/s GM van I believe around 1996 (see pic) . The steering shaft is all enclosed in rubber ,cut it off and remove shaft from van. A slight groove on steering shaft at firewall for pinch bolt is all that was needed for install on d-shaft of ol'black ...voila no more play!

Ironically one from an Astro van fits the first gen S10.
