Which King Pin Set?
72 F100 2wd with drum brakes.
I'm looking at rockauto.com and they list two King Pin Sets.
MOOG Part # 8524B $47.79 and
TRW Part # K529B for $27.79
Are both of these kits compatible with my truck?

The contents of the kit appear to be the same.. metal bushed, fittings, pins, etc.... Moog parts typicall cost more... I just rebuilt the front end of my Pontiac and went with all Moog branded parts.

Have them measure the lengths of the kingpins in both sets. It seems to me that 1972 and 1973 years both used 2 different lengths of kingpins. I think that might account for the price difference. You might also call a local parts place and ask about this.

There's nothing wrong with the TRW's if it's just a closeout deal. Through 74 will use the same king pin set. I use the brass and have them fitted at a machine shop.
