Does anyone know where I can find extra shims for my 46 chevy NOS kingpin set? It only came with 2 very thin shims and I misplaced one of them when trying to find extras at our local old-fashioned parts store. There were 4 shims that came off the old kingpin set and weren't in the best of shape. I feel certain that I'm gonna' need extra shims when trying to reach the .006 that my old chevy shop manual says I need at the top between knuckle and axle. Also, with this truck there is no groove for a lock ring [or whatever it's called] and the originals seemed to be 'pinned' which Looks like a hammered dent at the top and bottom of the old knuckles. It appeared that this kept the dust caps from floating out from either top or bottom. Am I crazy in noticing that they [my kingpins] aren't made like some others that I have seen reference to? Like the how-to page in Vintage truck recently and some of the pdf files I've downloaded off the 'bolt. My NOS bushings are different than what I have seen in several drawings on this era of kingpins but are identical to what I took off the truck, save for the extra shims. Sorry to go on for so long here but I don't want to mess this up. As always, thanks in advance for your ideas!
