alot of play in 79 heavy half

Also check the steering coupler (Rag Joint) and the input shaft on the steering box. I had a lot of play in my steering on my 76 but couldn't find anything wrong with the front end. So i decided to check out my steering box and noticed the rubber disc on steering coupler was shot. And while i was taking the coupler off i noticed the steering box had a lot of play in the input shaft. You could move the shaft side to side, the shop that rebuilt the box for me said the bearing that the shaft rides in had broken. Whats funny is the box never leaked or made any grinding noises it was just very sloppy almost like i was driving with a flat tire.
