yes the Ford script key is an original ford or service replacement. Per service bulletins Ford used the Ford script on many service parts so customers knew they were getting genuine Ford parts. They specifically call out "gyp" parts in the service bulletins


I don’t hesitate with good threads to torque to 125 ft lbs.
I’ve seen too many damaged axles and hubs from being loose and undertorqued. I’ve gone to 150 without any issues. I pull hubs and drums every week on cars and more often than not they are too loose. Compromised axle threads can be taken into account but should ultimately be replaced anyway.

Key ways must be tight and threads good and adequate torque applied.
Not trying to be against a few but if You guys who don’t want keys just remove them from your pinion gear and hubs and run them with the taper fit.
