So who is the guy that owns the duece parked by LnM Supply in Virginia?? :drool::drool::drool:

All exhust shops (drive in, drive out 1 hour type) employ some of the worst weldors I have ever seen. Agreed I had my local muffler shop replace my whole exhaust system. Charged me $350.00 the welds were so bad, he left about a 3 inch booger hanging down. Ended up cleaning off all his welds...

How did you get your lower king pins out mine are stuck? As stated in my reply to jets1959's PM. Figured i would share with the rest. I removed the grease zerk to relieve any pressure build up. Then I hit the inside corner ( not the straight side but the curved side ) of the king pin with...

Nappa 1605 stamp part number ( NMC M2135 ) Nappa 1925 stamp part number ( NMC M2533 ) Does anyone know the correct one?

:drool: Very sweet rig! Congrats.

I would invite you for a beer but 304 miles youd have to be pretty thirsty:beer:

I just did the inner fenders yesterday. Pretty simple job. The passenger side has support braces welded on the bottom. Make sure you grind them off and install them on the new one or your batteries will fall threw while your driving...Dont ask me how I know:oops:

After verifying with ORD that I had the correct kit,he told me to place a washer inbetween the spring and the retainer because the bushing isnt seating down all the way. I will only be doing this on the passanger side since the driver side seats fine. Will keep you guys posted

Well, I ended up ordering a king pin rebuild kit from ORD $66.00 per side. ( just came in yesterday $154.00 for 2 after shipping ) I just got the spindle back on and the passenger side has some slop. I found out that the index on the bushing is smaller then the groove and you can here it hit...

The 7/8 allen wrench i purchased from Northern Tool for $16.99 worked GREAT...(Because it made in USA ) I sprayed the upper king pins with PB Blaster let sit for10 mins put a 6 foot cheater bar on it and gave it a good pull with 1 arm and POP threaded out the rest of the way by hand. Both came...

Thanks sweetk30. Im going to order the kits now and i will post again with results...

I bought my 7/8 " allen wrench at Northern tool...$16.99 made in USA I was thinking something like that to but my welder is cranky.

Yes you would replace the uppers? Would you consider the lowwers to be shot? I have a 7/8 " allen wrench, the only tool i dont have ( yet ) is a 3/4 " torq wrench to torq the king pins. I do appretiate the offer of help. If you lived closer i would buy you a beer...:beer:

Would you guys change these upper king pins? Agreeing with sweetk30s advice I'm replacing everything else while I have it taken apart. But I have a bad shoulder and if these king pins can be salvaged then i will leave them in. Pic 1 and 2 are driver side pic 3 and 4 are passanger side...

You rock bro thanks

Sweetk30,I'm definitely going to look into the bronze bushings. I like the fact they have steel pins. The previous owner of my 1028 installed new bushings when i bought it about a year ago and the lock tab is already sheared off. As for the spring its hard to compare my old spring to the new one...

My springs look ok but both my bushings are cracked. Does anyone have a new spring that they can grab a measurement from?

Correct,right behind the radio plate.

Heating up the bolt a little bit and touching the threads with a small candle works pretty good to. Melts the wax and sucks it into the threads.
