Wow--I didn't know how rare this handle is--my pickup came with a nice shiny red one which looks like its never been used.
Lonnie--the diameter of the shaft is roughly 3/8" going from memory. Use a piece of cold-rolled steel rod for the smaller pin across the end (a hardened roll pin may also work).
Tool for lowering the spare tire.

Sorry to waste everyone's time! Looked behind the seat tonight & what to my suprise? There was a jack & the rod for the jack that doubles as a tool to lower the spare!BTW, the jack is stored in a recess behind the driver's seat.
I swear, no more questions until I get the owners manual!

I too didn't get a crank with my truck. I have started to make one out of a 4 foot piece of 3/16 cold rolled steel rod, $2.49 at the store. I heated one end with the torch and bent it to an L shape at the end. 3/16 seems the perfect size to fit in the notch on the "winch". Also fits through the the little guide hole by the license plate nicely. Now I have to figure out something for the handle end, either bend that end into an L too, or thread it and fit a handle on it.
