A local parts supplier is looking for king pins at good prices, wholesale. Anyone have a few suggested sources? I tried American Classic but it says discontinued. I need to replace my kingpins so it'd be nice to have him bring in a shippment soon. Thanks.

Scotts Super Trucks is not to far from you. Jim Carter's Classic Trucks. Classic Parts of America (formaly Chevy Duty). Those would be a good start.

For wholesale Jim Carters would probably be your best bet.

KMS Tools in Coquitlam has started a Custom and Restoration Parts division and I've found some decent priced NOS parts. King pins are a regular stock item so I am hoping on getting a good source for them. They have purchased a few stocks from several sources in the lower mainland that are NOS. Ya might want to check them out when you have a chance. www.kmscarparts.com I'll forward the recommendations above. thanks.

You might try to find the Kaiser King pin sets. Spanky put me on to them. Granted this was for a 1 ton - but - they have grooved pins and spiral wound no ream bushings. Worked good for me (and continue to work good).
