    I drive a 2019 Kenworth T680 and the holding pin for the driver's right armrest has sheered off. I suspect the previous driver to operate was putting too much weight on it too frequently. I'd like to replace it myself since it's a simple and easy to fix issue, but I can't seem to find any websites that sells chair components. If anyone knows where I could by a replacement part, I'd really appreciate that.

    Truck seat manufacturer? They might sell parts retail.
    Or take your pieces to a mill shop.
    They could weld them together or make a new piece.
    Good luck

    This happened in my pete and I just went to the local hardware store and found an allen head bolt that fit the threads and head diameter but I don’t remember what size it was.

    Thanks for the response. I was planning to do that if I couldn't find an identical replacement.

    Thank you for the response. I'm fairly new to trucking and I'm not sure what the manufacturer for my chair is. The mill shop idea is a good one; hopefully, it's not too expensive.
