nylon king pin bushing
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

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

It also wasn't very expensive.
I wouldn't do it any other way.
