Considering the amount of deformity and damage that torque tube has suffered, maybe it's time to locate another one??? There are very frequently complete torque tube axles that come up for sale as many folks swap out for later model rear axles or convert to open drive differentials.

If you decide to go the replacement torque tube route, post an ad in the Truck Parts Wanted forum and we can try and help you locate a replacement. smile
