Question:
I have a Thule AeroBlade roof rack and Im trying to mount a roof box that I made out of wood to it. I know that I can buy item 753-0783 but im in need of a T-bolt. The thickness of the wood Im trying to attach is roughly 3/4inch thick. What t-bolt do I need?

Since I can't recommend one way or the other whether or not your wooden cargo box would be safe on the top of your vehicle travelling at highway speeds all I can tell you is that the M6 knob part # 753-0783 that you referenced would require an M6 T-bolt like part # 853-6511-02 for a 64 mm bolt or part # 853-6511 for 92 mm.
Please be very cautious with your roof box setup. I would imagine a wooden cargo box would be pretty heavy. If you wanted to go with a lighter option I would strongly recommend a Thule cargo box like the # TH6358B instead.
