Hi, Lester. I checked a TT axle I have on hand and I see that you will need 5/16" square keystock about 3 1/2" long for your truck. Your local hardware store may have it. I see that Amazon has it in 12" lengths for about eight dollars. You can just saw it to the length you need, dress up the ends and fit it to your axle and hub. The keyway on the axle is rounded up at the inner end. This is due to the machining process. Your key should stop short of this area. Hope this helps. Bob

I don't think that 5/16 fits the slot as it should. The correct key stock as I recall is different. Mikes 1912 I sent you an email. If you don't get it check your spam.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

I have one that looks like it's NOS and it measures .3150. That is 8.00 MM.
