not sure what the kingpin is but if its the threaded bolt directly in the center then yes. you just need the right size die to re tap it to the correct thread pitch and size. sounds more complicated then it really is, should be able to snag a 15$ tap and die set from any auto parts store or home depot or lows. give it a google if you don't know how to do it already.

just googled it and depending on the truck you may be able to switch the whole thing out for a new bolt, you will need to remove your truck to see if it will come out, if so you can most likely get a new bolt from home depot or lows.

If you have paris trucks, good luck finding a bolt. If you've got something else then you can get one at home depot. check what grade you need though, YOU NEED A CERTAIN GRADE, I don't remember which one.
