I have a 1939 ton and a half conventional cab Chevy truck and cannot find anyone who makes kingpins for it, or any NOS sets. I need the pins, bushings, bearings, and the whole set. Does anyone know where I can get a set? Thanks Bob.

The kingpins on Ebay are for Cab overs, not for conventional cabs.

Bob,
You are looking for Group 6.203 kits
In 1939 the 1-1/2 tons conventional cab is considered a Heavy Duty Utility with model designations as follows:
VA 133" wheelbase w/single rear wheels
VB 133" wheelbase w/dual rear wheels
VC 158-1/2" wheelbase with single rear wheels
VD 158-1/2" wheelbase with dual rear wheels
All GM Utility trucks shared the same front axle from 1931-1940 (non COE heavy duty trucks)
The GM Utility trucks shared the same series spindle (knuckle) from 1937-1942 (non COE, schoolbus heavy duty trucks)
Based on this, the king pins for any 1937-1940 heavy duty non-COE truck should fit your 1939.
As previously mentioned - the 601019 kit looks like the right kit. I had one of these kits that I purchased from eBay about a year ago thinking it was for a 1/2 ton and wound up giving it away to another chevy truck nut.

I bought a set a while ago from Ebay that said it was for 1939 "Chevy heavy duty all Coe". I thought it mean all heavy duty models and COEs. Turns out they were only for COEs. Thanks for the info. Ill keep looking!

Bob, I found my 1993 MOOG catalog.Truck king pins are listed back to 1946.Using a 1950 1 ton as an example (same as 1940 1 1/2 ton) MOOG #8207B is shown....To farther varify, the king pin demensions are (ones contained in MOOG kit) Diameter .9210", length 5.125", distance from center of lock pin notch to end of pin-2.531".Measure your old pin in an area where no wear would have occured.
A word of caution.The king pin sets sold by Chevrolet were available in standard size as well as .010" and .020" oversize.If the I beam was previously reamed out to an oversize the MOOG set will not work as it is available in srandard size only.
