Finally i made some progress . the new kingpins and bushings are in , the drag link is temp installed , and started to put the disc kit on ...... But .......i laid my spindle nuts and washers on the bench with a whole load of parts and someone decided they did not like my mess and cleaned up ....... Now i can not finish the install as i do not have them and she does not know where she put them ...... So does anyone know what freaking size and thread pitch they are ? None of the parts houses have even a listing and i tried using an even newer truck as i figured they should be the same . gotta run down to the local BIG R and peruse their selection of hardware ...... Or order some on line .....

 

A box of chocolates might refresh her memory.

 

Very doubtful .... Trust me ......

 

Well the answer to my question and for everyone else's info .... The spindle nut hex size is 1 1/4 inches , the thred pitch is 3/4 x 16 . so much for the know it alls at the parts house who can not figure out **** if it is not on the computor !!!!! found the info online ( my tap and die set does not go that large ) and got two locally now to find the washers with the tang on them ..... Maybe next time she will leave stuff where i lay it ..... No what am i thinking .......

 

When I go to a parts store and the kid can't find it on a computer , I go ask the oldest guy there. Doesn't matter what I'm looking for, he will find it. Some things have to be looked up in a book. Chocolate don't work for mine either. Oh well.
