Understood.
I haven’t messed with 22.5” tires on anything. My old Deuce and a half had 1100-20’s on it. The stock wheels worked just fine for them.

I will do that. I have been watching marketplace but not much in the steer tire dept but a buddy has 2 nice Michelin steers for me that I'll go get in a couple weekends.

I am so super stoked. My buddy is replacing his RV tires and gave me these 2 steers. 235/80r22.5.
Has anyone had any luck finding king pin kits? I checked at Napa and they are not showing. I need to do them before I put these tires on...the hunt is on

Indeed, an F600 from 1965 could have had 3 possible front axle capacities, 5M, 5.5M and 6M. The first two axles of 5M and 5.5M used one possible kit while the 6M used a couple of other possible kits - one kit with nylon bushings and one kit with bronze bushings.
If you want - post a picture of your warranty plate and if it is original and if it has any front axle info that will help determine which one it is unless you already know.

Just to give you the numbers
For the 5 and 5.5M (5,000 and 5,500 lbs. capacity) axles (Section 30.3B and C) it's saying
C3TZ-3111-A - PIN & BUSHING KIT - SPINDLE
For the 6M (6,000 lbs. capacity) axle (Section 30.4C) it's saying
C2TZ-3111-A - Nylon
B7TZ-3111-A - Bronze
If you click on each part number, it should take you to an eBay listing for that number.
This is all for standard size kingpins. They do not list any oversize kingpins for this application.

Well,I have looked and looked and scraped and found nothing.
From looking as I do not have a third character in my axle code that I should have the standard axle . By that the king pin kit that should fit is only $28 . I'll take a chance and order. Since it's gotten cold here in southern Indiana it'll be a bit before I can mess with this since I'll be outside working. I really want to get the new tires on soon tho just because the old ones are so awful

Well, I may be slow but I'm always trying to move forward in some way.
Yesterday I delivered a trans I built for buddy (fte'er) and borrowed his tire machine to mount the first 2 tires. I'll sand,wire wheel etc and paint before install but not before we do new king pins.. why do I do this to myself?! I sure do like this old truck tho for some reason .. onward and upward eh
The new king pins were a good deal on fleabay and by all my measurements they should be correct.

22.5 modern one piece wheels.
I believe they came off of an old u-haul truck.
