King Pin Bushing source?
Does anyone know where I can get just the bushings alone for the front king pins for a '56 F100? Already bought a new kit from M-F and wound up installing/reaming 2 into a bad spindle. All the vendors i know of only seem to sell complete kits! I just need 2 bushings! Don't see the point on Spending $60+ for a complete kit for 2 lousy bushings. Someone's gotta sell them.

Found some cracks in the spindle after the fact. Its one that was on a used axle assy. that I bought for parts. Might have been in an accident, who knows. Fortunately I have one off the axle that was under my truck.
Thanks guys. Yeah will have to wait till monday and call a few places I guess. Just called NAPA and got a friend of mine on the case. If NAPA carries it, he 'll find it. Have one other guy I can call today too. Just can't believe you can't buy these bushings separately through the F100 parts specialty places.

I wound up gettin mine from Rock Auto once my Local Napa got me part numbers and then I crossed them into a vendor I could find stocking them. Rock Auto was excellent to deal with by the way.

I have half a set. PM your address and I'll drop it in the mail.
Edit: Never mind, I just realized you found a set.
