my king pins are out on my 59 f100. ok the only king pins i can fine for my truck are the ones that have to be reamed to fit it and i dont have the tool to do it and cant find any one in the dallas /ft worth area that does them. some one told me that you can buy nylon king pins that dont have to be reamed. does any one know were i can find these? or can find the right tool to do them? or know were you can get them done? thanks

 

Maybe for your storm door, not for a truck! It just can't be that no one in Dallas has a Sunnen honing machine, or the proper reamer. Any big-truck repair shop likely has them, NAPA does it here. Worst case, you can buy the official Ford reamer on eBay for about $50 - $75 and re-sell it after you use it for nearly as much.

You might give Antique Auto Supply, in Arlington a call, see if they know who does it. 817-275-2381

 

is there a certain reamer that i need. i really dont know what im looking for and plus i have two 59s so if i could fine one for that much ill just buy one and keep it. thanks ill give napa a call in the morning.

It says it's an adjustable reamer with basic size 13/16"; check your new kingpins to confirm that is right for your truck

 

I needed to replace my kingpins in my F-600. I took the front axle to American Frame and Axle in Kent, Wa and they used a Sunnen Hone to do the holes and then used 0.010 oversized king pins. When it was all done it steered like there was ball bearings in there.


It also wasn't very expensive.

I wouldn't do it any other way.
