If there is no groove, and they are just straight shafts, I'd think a resourceful machinist could replicate something from a pair of bolts. Maybe just need to weld a knob onto the heads?

alchemy ...... These pins are a round cross section.....NO grooves like the I-beam pins. The shank diameter is 0.463", or about 15/32".....kind of an oddball bolt size. I took four nice pictures this morning and tried to upload 'em here. They were too big, and I can't re-size 'em. Send me a PM with your e-mail if you can upload them here.......I'll send 'em your way.
Rich B ..........The slot in the king pins is the regular old three-sided notch. The round section of the pin interferes perfectly with that notch to hold it snugly. Yes, the pins could be home-brewed by the right guy.
I'll post all of the dimensions if anyone wants them. DD
