I'm looking at a 1978 F150 2wd for sale. I'm wondering if there is an upgrade/retrofit replacing the king pins with ball joint (similar to my 1995 F150).

Reason I ask, I've had a couple 2wd trucks of this era (1973, 1974, & 1976). They used to chew through front tires, and the only adjustment for caster/camber adjustment was eccentric king pin bushing replacement, or heating the i-beams (never liked that idea). i like the set up on my 95 F150.
