    King Pin and Spindle Bushings

    Got the new bushings pressed in last night, need to remove about 0.010-0.012” off each one. I found an adjustable reamer for $39 on the famous auction website. When I’m done I’ll lend these out to anyone that wants to borrow as long as they pay the to/from shipping. Also found one for the...

    King Pin and Spindle Bushings

    Thanks. How is the new plate with pre-installed bushings easier or a different ID? Wouldn’t they be the same size as the ones I got from the other vendors with the only difference being new plates? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    King Pin and Spindle Bushings

    The old ones didn’t look too bad, just uneven wear. I might just reuse them. Haven’t seen that TM yet. Thank you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    King Pin and Spindle Bushings

    Yes. 1.124 on the pins, 1.123 on the installed bushings. I’ll probably head to a machine shop when I get the new bushings. I’ll have to have the spindles done too anyways. Ain’t broke don’t fix it they say :( Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    King Pin and Spindle Bushings

    I could not find a spec anywhere. It did give a front end play spec using a bar and a dial indicator.

    King Pin and Spindle Bushings

    Yes, that is the ID of the holder before the bushing is pushed in. You add the thickness of the bushing .062 x 2. So I have zero or negative tolerance and they are being crushed. I was wondering if this was common, and sounds like in your experience they are.

    King Pin and Spindle Bushings

    In the process of replacing my torn axle boots, I decided to replace my spindle and king pin bushings. Being that the truck is 50+ years old, I had no idea how long they have been in there. Since I was there anyways, I chose to replace the bushings in the spindle along with the king pin...

    Just to update, my friend got his title and historic plates in the mail yesterday. He went through a title agency, about $300 and no hassles. Took about a month. He has a ‘66 M35A2. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I need to borrow an 87-89 USAF dual circuit master cyl. mount temporarily

    I have an extra regular m35 single Circuit MC Mount I got off a parts truck last month. Comparing that to the 3D model I printed out from Peashooters grab cad file, there are a lot of similarities to modify the original design into the dual circuit design. At least that’s the route I’m going to...

    I believe it has changed since. Mine was a similar situation, my buddy is having to go through more red tape with his. He is also dealing with a title service. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The problem is that in order to apply for historic plates, you must first have commercial plates, which means it needs a weight needs to be done. If it’s already historic then you’re fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I know a guy in the process of registering here right now. He’s going through a title company. They have to register it as commercial before you can even apply for historic. That way they can getcha for that weight fee. $$$ for the roads you know... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    John, my deuce has been registered historic for years. On my registration, there is no weight listed, fuel type, nothing commercial whatsoever. It just says 66 Kaiserjp. No model. Just classified as UT (truck). I also got my new registration renewal in November after this came out, the fees went...
