spindle swap
im putting spindles from a 74 on my 68 i-beams.the kingpins seem fine and the bushings.would it be smart to reuse them or replace just the kingpin or both?what about the nylon bushings?whats the best way to drive out the old brass bushings?

well if you have the donor truck 74 then you could pull everything out from under it and just swap out with the one in your 68,ibeams stearing linkage spindles,the best buy would to make sure you by new bushings so u dont have to do it later on for the ibeam and suspenion pasrt and on the king pins if you just swap out the spindles only then you can use the king pin gor your 68 and if you decide to swap out the whole front suspension you will need new bushings and new king pins for a 74 since the front end will be our of a 7
