A little tiny update
Figured I could post up a few pictures of my current project.
Got my 1985 F-350 front spindles blasted and painted. All new bearings and rotors. I did however find out that there are different front dually hubs. 68-75, 76-84 and 85-93 (uses hub centric rims). My 1969 hubs have a slight different bearing spacing than the 76-93 hubs as well as different inner bearings and seal but those are swapable. So I had to make a spacer to align my newer rotor properly with the caliper. I cut the front face off the old rotors and machined them flat and concentric on the lathe at work.
Used some longer bolts and everything fits nice. Just need to get the new kingpin bushings reamed sometime.
