Use the box end of the tracker shaft and the steering column side of the samurai shaft.  Cut both of them shorter, collapse the samurai shaft and weld them together.
Here is what my "bastard shaft" looked like, after I cut them down and welded them together.

You can't use the stock placement of the PS pump.  It has to be moved higher, in order to clear the box.  Hopefully you are not running an AC compressor, because I don't know how you mount the pump to clear the box, with AC.

I had to fab my own mounting bracket for the pump to get it higher. too cheap to pay for kits that someone else built I guess.. pretty easy little job
