Canada	Hy 1pete1, I checked my TRW catalog that is appropriate for the era, the progressive size chart for kingpins does not list anything for any make of truck that is .98" diameter. Either the kingpins you have are from a vehicle more modern than my catalog covers, the measurement is incorrect, or these are one off pins that a machine shop has made up. I will keep checking.
