In the kingpin kits there is a lock pin that has an incline and threads. It holds the kingpin in place. I need just the lock pin. I have tried LMC & Jim Carter but they will only allow me to order the entire kit. NAPA can't get it either. Is there another company out there that I should check with or should I have a machinist attempt to build new ones

I think I still have the old pins out of my 38 but I don't know if they'll fit your 52. Do you know the dimensions of the lock pin?

You may find that another set of lock pins won't fit. There is nothing about the design that would require the machining on the flat of the kingpin to be the same between different manufacturers.

74-091 is the pin used for the rear springs, I didn't believe they were the same size. I don't have the parts in front of though so I am not certain.
