King pin question

I am trying to swap over a set of spindles from a 1979 F100 into my 71 F100. The reason being so I can upgrade to disc brakes. I got pretty much everything ready to go, except my kingpin kit doesn't have instructions. I am looking for some instructions - what goes where, what gets torqued & to what value, etc.

The king pin parts came from NAPA, and they do not have instructions for these kits, they just sell the parts.

Anyone got some thing they can email or PM to me? Thanks.

Take the king pins to a qualified machine shop for the installation of the King pins and bushings. Call the machine shop and check is they do these king pin installations and repair cost.
