Thanks Bobby. I'm on vacation so it's pretty easy to get stuff done on the truck. The shop took the spindles in Friday afternoon, and I picked them up yesterday afternoon. As I said, they did a really nice job.

Started working on it at 7:30 this morning and just got the shop cleaned up a few minutes ago. Besides cleaning all the parts to paint, I had some small ridges to take out of the axle holes so the new pins would fit, but now Betsy's back together. I'm anxious to see if the steering wander is gone. Besides the new king pins, I adjusted the drag link according to the Shop Manual, and it's tighter than the PO had it. There's no wear in it's parts or to the ***** on the spindle arm or steering arm. I greased everything up good, repacked the wheel bearings (which I just did a few weeks ago).

I'm gonna shower and take her out to dinner, so to speak.
