steering play

My truck, like a typical old dodge, has a ton of play in the steering and I heard from the guy I bought it from that it is a bushing in the box or something. Does anybody know anything about this? Know a quick fix?

x2 on the joint just above the box. Thats the week spot in the factory shafts. Ebay seems to be the best source for Borgeson shafts.

Make sure your frame is ok where the box mounts.
