Did you try Robert's Motor Parts?  They have them listed.

According to Nostalgia Sid's  the part numbers are as follows:   Moog #8453B or N  (.8730 diameter)

                                                                                                    NAPA  #262-1378   (.8730 diameter) 

 

And you're in the real machine shop zone for the honing, etc., here.

I couldn't tell you.....I don't know.

Are you familiar with what it takes to replace king pins?  And are you familiar what is involved with straightening any damage you probably won't see? 

This is a machine shop operation.

I can tell you that mine had nylon when I pulled it apart, but the Roberts kit came with bronze bushings. I took it apart, but Nostalgia Sid installed and reamed them when he added 3" of drop to my axle. So I am not sure what it takes to actually do.

The machine shop here in my town is way expensive and I have a friend that said he's done them before...I'm trying to avoid the machine shop..because what they will charge me I can do a front end swap

I have always used an expandable, adjustable reamer in the past.  You want the ones with tapered sleeves to keep centered.  They are considered hand reamers. Time consuming and take patience.  I used these a lot in the past on big rigs as well cars and pickup trucks.  Sometimes they can be bought on ebay.  I had a few different sizes that were vintage complete with centering bushings years ago and sold them.  Little did I know then I could use them now.
