I need two king pins, p/n 150078, and 4 bushings, p/n 172901. These fit 1928-32 Commanders and Presidents. The pins are 1.00" dia x 6.375 long with a 7/16 hole through the center from top to bottom. Anyone got pins and/or bushings?
I managed to get one of the pins out of the old front axle, will try for the other one today. My little 12-ton hydraulic press really groaned pushing the pin out of the spindle. I guess that what happens after 80 years in place. If I can also press out one of the bushings, I can get some dimensions from it. I suspect it is 1.125 o.d x 1.001 i.d. x about 1" long. I can probably get the bushings made from stock ones at McMaster-Carr or MSC. I found the thrust bearings on Ebay! There was a fair amount of slop in the knuckles and the lower part of the pin was worn.
