Steering Column Slop

[72k20Farmtruck]

Hi all, I have a 1982 K20 pickup with tilt steering column. I have tightened the 4 torx bolts for the tilt because they came loose awhile back. Now I have slop in the steering wheel while driving down the road, about 3 degrees of slop side to side. I’ve changed all steering components out, new stabilizer, Red Head steering box, etc. turns out the issue is in the column itself, i can rotate the wheel slop to slop and the intermediate shaft does not move. I bought a new plastic swivel ball for the upper part of the column thinking that was it but it in fact was not, I just tore it down to that point and the slop is after it. Help
