Unfortunately, i think i'm about to need to spend some serious money on the 80's steering system.
FWIW, I just replaced my drag link with OEM ends and a Slee HD tube and the tie rod with OEM and and an OEM bar. My steering box was blown so I replaced that with a "working" used one and I still have the lack of tightness you are describing.

What's my point? Rule out absolutely every else before you dump all that money on the steering parts. I had loose bolts under there from when I did the Slee 4" lift. The rear bolts on the castor plates were loose and the front panhard bolt was loose. check them all... I have to go under and do it again, they have me worried.
