Dana 60 Kingpin

I'm rebuilding a 78/79 Dana 60 kingpin. It's pretty rusted up and needs most things replaced. I am running into a problem. I need to replace the upper kingpin cap bolts, but Dana stopped making them. Can anyone tell where I can find some replacement bolts???? I have looked all over online, with no luck. It someone knows the size and thread angle, I'm sure I can get some generic bolts to work, probably #8 strength. Thanks guys, I welcome any info.... Shane

Thanks for trying Montana

Unfortunately, they only have the bolts in the kit. I bought a kit somewhere else that doesn't have the bolts. Hence, my problem, because I can't find just the bolts anywhere.....

The kingpin cap bolts should be 1/2"-20, i believe 1.5" or 1.75" in length, you should be able to buy just the bolts only (grade 8).

Are you talking about the upper left side steering arm studs and nuts ? There are 4 studs with what looks like a 4 small lug nuts to hold the arm down.
