Help identify a part for a Corporate 14 Bold Rearend - 1980's K30 4x4

When I removed the rear axles there was what looks like either a shim, gasket or compression washer between the flange and the axle housing.  I left this shim with the truck but have a picture of the axles.  I'll get a picture of the exact part but here's a picture of the axles to start with.

Thanks guys ahead of time...

Heading over to the truck right now to continue re-assembling the rearend and frontend.

I have just cleaned and re used the gasket and added some RTV.  Never had a problem

Thank you again!

My local Autozone shows this part to be in stock so I'll go get a couple of new gaskets and get the rearend put all back together today and the mag wheel and tires bolted back on.  Then do my favorite thing, clean icky, greasy, frontend parts so when my Kingpin kit gets here I can re-assemble the frontend.
