First off, do you still have the spring and washer at the end of the steering shaft and the intermediate shaft? This has been missing in half the trucks I get. It is the only thing that keeps the column from pulling out towards the driver. It also puts tension on the shifter detents. You can sometimes get a little more presure by adjusting this.
Next place to look is the pivot point at the frame. It is an ungreased point and every time you shift it is metal on metal. The hole will oval out and cause much of the slop. Find a washer that fits the pivot and weld it on to take up the slack again.
Re-adjust the down rod and you are set to go again.
