Re: Kingpin Removal, '37 120

Did any 120s have needle bearings in the kingpins instead of bushings? I have some assorted used parts and what may be part of a new set of kingpins, or maybe they're outer lower control arm parts. There are two needle bearings among one set of parts. The pins or shafts are very similar to the kingpins, and the same diameter and length, though not identical.

The locking pins have a very slight taper, if any, and three grooves cut lengthwise on them. I don't see, looking at them, how they'd be very secure.

Other lock pins I've encountered have a distinct flat taper on one side and a threaded projection on one end with a nut to hold them tight once driven into place.
