what kingpins fit model A axle???

when i bought my car the 53-56 spindles were already attached to the 28 model a axle.

i am replacing the kingpins, but the new 53-56 kingpins dont fit the axle, i know there has to be something that fits because it was already hooked up..

i have an extra 53-56 axle with spindles so thats how i know that they are 53-56 spindles im putting on my model a axle, unless im missing something.

do u have any idea what would work or are the earlier f100 spindles identical to the 53-56 and i need a earlier year kingpin????


thanks

 

you probably have `48-`52 F1 spindles

 

ok,ill send these ones back and try the 48-52 kingpins,,,,are the 48-52 spindles that similar to the 53-56????

if they are the only difference has to be the kingpin hole,,,cause these dudes look just like my other 53-56 spindles

 

would anyone else have an idea???

 

Take some pictures of BOTH spindles from the inside and from the rear and post them up.

If you have them off already, take the kingpin you removed to a machine shop and have it measured with a micrometer to tell you the exact size and thus the required kingpin setup.
For Fords there were only a handful of different kingpins and thats mostly for length.

 

measure the kingpins - a model pins are bigger in diameter than 42-48

 

How do they not fit?
Too thick, too thin, too short, too long?

 

the 53-56 kingpins are to thick or wide in diameter for my axle

 

Here's some pics of early Ford spindles. May help
