.861 reamer

I bought a replacement king pin set. Unfortunately the kit didn't come with a reamer. I've talked to a few shops. They could do it if they have the reamer. Does anyone know where I can get my hands on one? It's for a 79 F150. My cheapo caliber said .861. If I'm wrong on the measurement please let know. Thank you

I would go to any local auto part places and see if they have it to rent. Then try any machine shops/welding places/ to see if they will rent it out.

Have you joined your FTE state chapter and asked if any one has one there to loan out?

MSC Direct would have it for sure. Also, an actual production machine shop, like the one I work in, should be able to direct you to the local place they order their reamers from, like J&L, or MSC.
