    HELP! My 59 half ton has worn out the spindles to the point that the new kingpin bushings fall through the spindles :eek:. Where can I find replacments??? I've found nothing but dead ends so far and I need help!

    Thanks for the suggestions, but they do not have wheel spindles ether. I went to see a machinist friend, he knurled the O.D. of the bushings and pressed them in. The king pin is now tight, a little too tight, so I have some additional work to free the kingpin in the spindle bushings. Don't cha just love old trucks?

    With a p***ion!

    Next time look around for someone doing an IFS swap. They likely will help you load their old axle and spindles and smile as you take it away for free.
