At my project build thread at one of the other Ford bump-side forums, a member suggested I might have my I-beams swapped. Now, they are on the way they were when I got the truck, but that is no guarantee they were right before.
Would someone be able to tell from these two pics.



It all looks a lot nicer now. Well painted.





And the stand placement was changed many moons ago.

 

What was the reason for him to make that statement ?

seemed to think the twist was wrong at the spindle. I was kind of wondering, which side would the nuts for the kingpin keeper be on for each side. My left side shows it with the nut facing forward. Can't tell from the pic (and the truck is at my mom's about 1 mile away) which side it is on the right side.
By the way, Orich, don't know an easy way to describe anti-rattle clip installation do you?

 

On the picture he was talking about it looked like the end of the axle where the king pin goes is angled forward instead of to the rear, but that is because you have the truck supported by the frame and the axle is hanging free. If he had of looked closer he would have seen the stop on the back of the axle is facing the rear of the truck like it is supposed to. You have it on right.

 

I know about the dual piston one with the z wire type. The other with dual piston the spring goes on the caliper pins.

Don't know about the single piston caliper.

That is good to read. Would have to think I might be looking at finding another i-beam and radius arm.
Stop faces to the rear. Gotta try to remember that.

 

I-beam sets are bolt hole exchange from 65-79. Many of us run 73 & up sets in our older trucks with the power disc brake upgrade.

I don't believe you can swap sides like run passenger side on drivers side if that is what you meant.
