Graham, this car is 35 plus years old.  If you don't know the previous
owner(s), and how he drove and maintained the car, do yourself and your
family a favor, and have the car's suspension check out by a competent
front end shop.

It could be any number of things that need replacement, not just the u
joints on the steering shaft.  

If the u joints are that sloppy, I would guess something else needs work also.

You are worth the money spent.
