All depends on what you are calling "light duty." By most standards, a Chevy K30 is a light-duty truck. GM call those parts - where the ball joint would go for a 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton - "King Pins." It's not what I would normally call a King Pin - since to me - I think of a straight axle having king-pins and bushings - like in my 65 Ford F100 2WD. But - General Motors -in both their repair manual - and parts microfiche - call them King Pins in the K30. So does Dodge and Jeep in the older 3/4 ton 4WD trucks - like my 69 W200 Powerwagon. These - instead of having one-piece ball-joint assemblies - use a king-pin and king-bushing or bearing arrangement. The bearings are usually Timken style adjustable and sometimes - instead of a bearing cup a solid brass bearing is used instead.
