Dad commented on the slop in the steering column, so I ordered the Borgeson steering shaft with u-joints on each end.

The steering box is new, the ball joints are new and I have a frame brace installed, so there's no reason I shouldn't upgrade the shaft to something new.
It will probably be the first part of next week when I get a chance to install it.
