I just went online parts shopping for you and I think I might have found the issue. It seems that the parts places confuse R2500 and V2500 and think they are both 4wd, which they are obviously not.
I looked up the part for a C2500 (RWD 3/4Ton Chevy) and got this, which you know will work, since the front end of a Suburban 2WD 3/4T is the same as a Truck, right?
I did the search here, but they use "frames" so you don't get a direct link:

Link to the part:

Hope that helps, you should be able to go to you local Napa parts store, and order a C2500 from the same year truck (personally NAPA has treated me RIGHT over the years, get to know the folks that work there!) and if it does not fit they will take it back.
One note is that the 3/4 and 1/2Ton trucks (I *believe) will use different steering components.
PS don't you HATE it when people use a TORCH instead of a Wrench? God god.
Best of luck,
Nick

The seller said I would be able to find the center link at any auto parts store.
I now need to replace the center link but for the life of me cannot seem to find the appropriate part number for a replacement. Would the center link from any of the 73-87(91) trucks or suburbans fit? I was able to find a DS1047 from a 82 Jimmy at a local AutoZone but I keep finding conflicting information about fitment.
Is there another direction for me to look? Am I stuck digging through my local Pick-A-Part?
Thank you in advance!
