My buddie just picked up a 53 truck and the front end needs a total rebuild. I have not worked on a kingpin suspension so I have two questions;

1) How do you get the kingpins out?

2) Where for you get new kingpins?

Thanks

i did a little searching...   guess what...  another mag covered this exact subject... with pictures also...

that search link in the upper right is a great thing.. but there is a secret.. after the first search.. you can pull down the middle window and search site wide... there are a lot of magazines on this site... over 20 at least.. i keep finding new ones..

Thanks Wayne. I didn't find anything when searching this forum, but I didn't know you were able to search the other sites too.
