47-55.1 Steering linkage, R & P question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have what I'm told is a Camaro rack and pinion on my truck, maybe 2000 vintage, not sure. I cannot find a steering universal to mount to it. The shaft measures 5/8", is smooth, no splines, shaped something like a DD but the flats are not equal, and it has a notch for a clamp type connecter. I can find splined 5/8" universals and 3/4" smooth universals but can't find 5/8" smooth. Need 3/4" DD on the other end.

Did this originally have a rag joint attached to the shaft? If so I can't use that as I don't have space to accommodate one now. Any suggestions?
