Kingpin vid/thread needed

Hey guys. I like to know what I'm jumping into before hand. Does anyone have a link to a thread with photos, or to a video of a kingpin install on our trucks?

You'll be surprised at how easy the king pins replacement job is.

The bushings can either be reamed at a machine shop, or reamed at home with the correct tools.

Start reading from page '20 of 48' in the attached.

6 by 8: Great info! excellent. That answers all my questions. Thanks so much.
Any idea where I can find steering linkage for a 75 f250 with dual piston calipers? Is LMC the only choice? Are they decent quality? MOOG doesn't make them, nor Dennis Carpenter, nor NPD.

I'm pleased to hear that.

I would only consider LMC if they advertised the actual manufacturer.

Rockauto specifies steering parts for single and dual calipers, as well as GVW :

They also show useful information about the various king pins available.
