Actually that is the compound gib just mislabeled like the one I bought from n eBay before. Should be around 10”. Thanks though.Several available in eBay
For example, here is one:
South Bend Lathe 13 Cross Slide Gib | eBay
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">South Bend Lathe 13 Cross Slide Gib.</p> <br> <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">Free shipping to the lower 48 United States first class mail</p>www.ebay.com
is that what you are looking for?

It's very possible to make a gib. It takes some careful measuring, trig calc and set up.
But it can be done with great success, as I've done it.
Prior to posting this I checked and noticed that there are now several internet videos and how-to on making gibs.
Yes, it will take some time. And depending on where you are on your learning curve your first gib(s) might be precision scrap.
However, I deem more shop time as a blessing, and learning as great fun.
