Anyone know a source for these? My literature says the pins are 1.109" in diameter.

If you have a local spring shop they should have a source available. I had the local shop install mine. Have fun and good luck

There are a lot of king pin kits available with those same 1.109" kingpins (same length too).
Variations in the kits are brass/steel or plastic bushings, different thrust bearing or bushing types, and freeze plugs or gaskets for caps.

For these 2 tons I have used NAPA # 262-1016 when I need 1.109" kingpins because they come with bronze/steel bushings and with thrust roller bearings both of which I like better than the other options.
This kit is also cheap in comparison to many of the other more or less suitable kits (though looking online they're more expensive now than I thought they should be). However it does not come with freeze plugs which you may need for your 46 axle.

Point of all that is go to your auto parts store and look at all the kits with 1.109" kingpins and see which you like best for the contents and price.
That may or may not be exactly what the book says your model truck should have.

None of the local auto parts stores had the kingpin kits. Actually, none of them other than NAPA even had a part number for them! NAPA said they could get me a set. Closest ones were 2200 miles away in WA state and were $130.00 plus the shipping. Ended up ordering the MOOG's from Rock Auto (thanks 3B).

Wow, $130 is a lot for that kit. Glad you found a better source.
