Kingpins discontinued for my Dana 60????!!!

So I tried buying kingpins for my Squarebody Crewcab 4x4 with a Dana 60. The truck is a 1990 Chev V3500.

I dropped by my local family owned parts supplier and was told that they didn't carry them. So I went to Napa who told me the same thing. So I call a GM dealer who called it a "socket" and said it was discontinued. So I called Partsource who also didn't carry them.

So I went to NAPAONLINE.COM and only found a kingpin BUSHING kit, https://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/R...+50014+2014047

I've never done kingpins before, is it common to only need the bushing?

Am I asking for the wrong thing? Are these considered to be ball joints?
