Does this look right?

I wanted to replace the studs on my 72 Jimmy cross member while it is apart. Much to my surprise I couldn't find replacement studs anywhere for a 1/2 ton. I was only able to find 3/4 ton studs and even they aren't plentiful it seems.

When I put the shaft on the 1/2 ton studs there was lots of play they were 1/2" studs and the cross shaft has a 9/16" hole.

The 3/4 ton studs are 9/16" so they fit nicely but I am not sure if thats the way they are supposed to be?
