Just got done teaching three days of Hunters Ed to 45 students. Whew, glad it is over. I did however make them a crock pot of squirrel jambalaya today. I mean it is Hunters Ed class right? They initially took itty bitty portions then next thing ya know I had an empty crock pot! It wipes me out being “on” for three days but when the family members approach you after the class is over and explain how much their young one is talking about the class at home etc etc it does make it a good thing. But holy smokes I am whipped. ( que Karl) now I can focus on practicing for pistol match next weekend.

Bummer Frank.
I was saving this one, but perhaps now is a good time to give it to you. Maybe it will help cheer you up about the truck.
Got rid of my truck with kingpins before I had to deal with them. Consider it a part of the journey, and hopefully the journey is part of why you're doing this. Not many folks these days could take that on.
AWESOME!! I Love it. Logo is about the right size. Buddy cut me some stencils.Bummer Frank.

I’ve been accumulating your photos since you got it and put this together. If you ever get different wheels or make other changes, I can update it now that this image is in my files.

Well, take a good pic from the side once they are on and I will update the image!
My 1960 Corvette had king pins and trunions for the suspension. Had that car 40+ years. Remember changing the king pins twice. Not too bad after you get the hang of it...

Glad to do it! I pay close attention to what friends are doing in their lives and like to add a little something to brighten their day when I can.
I was going to ask what was going on in here but I see Frank is having troubles. I have some 60's parts that may fit.
Who is "Frank" ??
Can't say for sure for your application, but a lot of kingpin bushing sets nowadays are spirals and don't require reaming to final size.
Frank is Frank...TJ.....Tool Junkie
I bought a set about a year ago on Ebay
But he tries not to be frank.
On the Mekong River.. Pretty typical small boat operation
In the Canal, across the street from my House,
Ooh ooh pick me! Pick me!
Let’s be Frank!
I located numbers for hoses, wheel cylinders and a king pin kit in moog and mevotech.
Cyls and hoses are wpg stock, was too late on the king pin kit.
Shoes are going for reline, i just hope they have fair pricing.
Im going to blast and paint them,to save a couple bucks.
Then all they have to do is line them.

A few tie rod boots and front end should be good.
