i was more looking for somewhere in oz but i will probably end up having to buy from the US. A few places in oz have the titanium ones but i dont really fancy paying AUD$35 for a special kingpin when i can get a regulare one for AUD$3~.
in the city i'm in now (Cagayan De Oro), the home depot shops don't have 'em. perhaps auto accessories/parts shops may have them, but haven't had the chance to check.
better bring the kingpin and baseplate with you for comparison and fitting. the bolts which will be readily available will be threaded the whole length. it isn't advisable coz i'm sure it'll eat the bushings when you ride.

It's possible to use most 3⁄8"-24tpi bolts of suitable length as a kingpin. Just make sure you use grade 8 bolts, identified by six lines on the head.
Some people advocate using the kingpin with the nut on the hanger-side of the truck. With longer bolts, make sure that this doesn't put the kingpin where it can hit things on the road.
