Oh ok. I tought it would be easier to fit new king pins in new spindles. Must not be, and I could save a buck. I had read where somebody stated that original ford pins were better than newer offering. Not sure why but they are quite a bit more expensive. Hopefully I can use the speedway set up and be fine.
Do you live in Deming Wa? I have done quite a few of these king pins.
