are you talking about the cylindrical rings or ??? If its a NOS kit, depending on the part, you MIGHT MIGHT MIGHT get lucky and find them by themselves, but thats a HUGE shot in the dark...
In looking at my NOS kingpin kit for my 65...the only ring type things would be the bushings themselves or the bearings.

Squire Don: If'in you had looked in your parts catalog (Section 30, Parts List 30.1B)...instead of at your king pin kit, you wooda discovered this part was not used 1965 and later, and... Here's 50 of them....so "HUGE shot in the dark" doesn't apply.
btw: 1965/70 F100/250 Twin-I-Beam parts are listed in Section 30, Parts List 30.2A

There are no such thing as nylon bushings for 61 to 64 axles. 65 up can use the derlin plastic bushings and do not require reaming. They wear out faster and require grease every three months just like bronze bushings. You pseudo parts book worms really need to look in to the question before rattling off an answer. ND had it spot on the rest need a bit of polish.
Where did you purchase it? take it back or call customer service and get a new set. NAPA jobber stores will have a selection of O rings as will Mcmaster carr or grainger
