Some good information here but basically after reading this I think it is conclusive that you just need to purchase all the rag joints for Saginaw boxes made between 1967 and 1987 and then take back whichever ones do not fit if you don't booger them up too much trying to beat them on (mine has to be hammered on pretty good). There are so many options out there and I went out and recounted and had a buddy recount yesterday and we are always coming up with 32 plus keyway would put us at 37 which doesn't exist.
