This is how it was done on 64 K10 project, a little more description is provided in build. Description below is from build.

"Going with a Borgeson collapsible steering shaft and two universal joints, for safety and tighter steering.

The 1983 K10 gear box steering shaft has 30 splines ( Used on this on project to convert to PS), the rag joint will be replaced by a lower universal joint. The steering shaft will be shortened to accept the collapsible universal shaft. The upper universal joint has a double D connection to original shaft, and the original upper part of the steering shaft will be modified to accept the double D universal joint end. This modification is easily reversed by replacing with an original shaft." Post photos of set-up when complete in build " 64' K10 Project Long Bed".
