Where to get King pin bushings

I know it has been a while since my last post but I have a bit of play in my king pin bushing and was wondering if anyone knows of a source. I work at NAPA now and I can only get the new adjustable kind that are very expensive through them. I just want the old cheap originals.

partsmike has a kit for both sides for $100. There are also some kits on ebay for the same amount.

I went through a local dana spicer dealer. the bushings were cheap, less than 10 bucks. get the spring also, I ordered everything, went through the pita to pound thelower race in, and my bottom bearings were fine.

That is a good idea. There is a drivetrain Specialties outfit here in sacramento that sells all the dana/spicer parts. Prolly best to stick with stock
