I replaced my king pin assemblies through Bus Boys.

So the old westy bus was getting kinda sloppy in the front end.
I've replaced center drag link pivot and tie rod ends. It felt
better but still wandered a bit down the road. I took it to the
alignment place and they set the toe-in but proclaimed that the king
pins are too worn to really align it properly. They recommended
replacement. I took the bus to John Pierce (now in Converse TX) and
he informs me that he can't do bus kingpins because it requires a
special "reamer" for the bushings thats larger than the ones for
Type 1.
I'm surely not the first to face this dillema. My question is, what
does everyone else do? Send the spindle assemblies off to someone
in distant lands? or is there someone in Texas that can do this
specialized machine work?
