King Pin bolt

I need 1, or 2, of the bolts that hold the king pins in on my 57 chev truck front axle. They are the bolts that are threaded on 1 end, that you slip through the hole in the axle. My king pin set came with 1 that had the threads screwed up. I retapped it, but soon as I put pressure on it, the threads pulled. If anyone can help me, I'd sure appreciate it. I've emailed, messaged, and searched all over the net with no luck. Thanks

Beyond that we need to know if its 1/2, 3/4 or 1 ton.

Re: King Pin bolt

That isn't what he needs.
That pin holds the rear spring pin in place on a 3/4 ton. This pin to be exact

I've never tried to save one when knocking it out of an axle but that is a possibility.

Re: King Pin bolt

I think this is the bolt you are looking for, correct? it is the wedge bolt to hold the kingpin into the solid axle. they come with a kingpin kit or you could also try a spring shop locally if you are just after the bolt.

tuckers truck parts has a good photo of the kit. FKP-5500
Price: $69.95
there are other suppliers as well

Re: King Pin bolt

dsraven, that is what I need. I hate to have to buy another king pin set. It'll be short a bolt if I ever need it. Everybody keep an eye out, maybe I'll get lucky. Found 1 on ebay for a F-100 ford.

Re: King Pin bolt

There you go, I didn't get mine pulled out before he did. Which re
minds me, weather permitting I need to get the spindles off two axles tomorrow.
