I got  a call from a friend today and his friend is in Columbia on some mission relief, and for some reason they need a set of king pins for the steer axle, I've got the numbers but haven't had any luck finding them, any Ideas where to look.

Thank you

Axle
NCL5342, and B1151 are on the front axle
king pin
B73 and O26

Doesn't Crown just use standard truck axles? Perhaps the number off the tag on the axle would be better along with the make (Rockwell? now Meritor). Good Luck, TomC

More recent Crowns used Rockwell axles, and older Crowns used Timken axles.   Whatever your friend's Crown has, it's probably just standard Class-8 truck stuff.   Plenty of Crowns in California are being taken out of service now thanks to CARB, and some of them are being scrapped, so maybe a scrap yard in CA would have what you need?

Hello, try Six States in Portland Oregon.  503-249-1010.  When I rebuilt the rear axle in my bus they were very helpful.

Thanks guys, I'll try Oregon.May call Meritor with the axle # and see if they can find it, it's not a number that we'd use on trucks of that time period, FE 900/ 931 and so on it could be one but looks to be a Crown only number.

Thanks
