Kingpin Bushing O.D. and Length

I’m looking for the outside dimensions of standard A kingpin bushings. My ‘31 Hupmobile also uses 13/16” kingpins but kits for it are unobtanium. My pins are in good shape but I need bushings and was hoping I could adapt the Ford parts to fit my spindles.
 
Thank you. Sounds like the diameter will work for my application. They’re 1/16” shorter than my existing bushing but that shouldn’t affect anything. I could have new ones made but when Ford bushings are readily available and $20, it seems like the way to go.

Sounds like a good solution. I've always loved the name Hupmobile even though I know nothing about them...

It’s a good name to really confuse people at the gas station when they ask what it is. They always look baffled and ask “Who made it?”. I probably could tell them it’s a Purple Unicorn and they’d have no idea whether I was lying or not.
