Re: V8 60 king pin lock bolts
I do not have the number nor can I find the ad any more. Have you checked with Southside Obsolete?

Personally, I would drill the axle and use normal lock and king pins, since beside the round lock pins, you would also have to find king pins with a round notch. Last edited by rich b; 11-30-2019 at 12:15 PM. Reason: more |

Rich....I'd be careful about drilling an expensive TUBE axle to use the "normal" lock pins. Without going out there and digging-out my tube axle to measure, I believe a tube axle is thicker than an I-beam front to rear where the pins go. And in the case of the king pin notch, the normal notch with the squared-off corners fits the round V8-60 pin perfectly. The king pin won't rotate, nor will it move up or down. DD |

Re: V8 60 king pin lock bolts
I just came across this ad by FordBarn member "Hairycanary" making fairly close-looking lock pins. His ad is dated January of this year....FWIW, it might not hurt to send him a PM. Click the link below! Ask the guy to verify that the shank is 0.463" in diameter. DD

Re: V8 60 king pin lock bolts
Thanks. I'd measured my pin with a caliper. Checked the diameter with a mic and came up with .463 also. Changed the drawing to reflect that. I figured a couple guys had asked for a picture. Wanted to make one up for my future reference anyway.

Re: V8 60 king pin lock bolts
Will need to address the lock pin issue if I decide to put my nos 37 tube axle to use, while I don't have any readily available king pins available to complete or check the fit I did remove a pair of 39 beam axle lock pins from a donor axle & they appear to fit perfectly, uncertain if in fact the same would be true with king pins in place.

Since your axle is NOS; maybe it's a sign that Ford possibly changed the lock pin design at some point. That may account for all the 60 axles with 9/16" holes and could indicate that they were born that way instead of being modified at some point during kingpin replacement. Something to think about, anyway. |

Re: V8 60 king pin lock bolts
Some info about stock 37 tube axles.
If you plan on racing with a sanctioned race organization like drags or vintage circle, you will have to have the open ends of the axle welded in. |

Re: V8 60 king pin lock bolts
As mentioned in my previous post (dirt car) the beam axle lock pins fit perfectly I'm also using nos 37-39 Spindles with bushings intact, still lacking king pins however wondering if any after market will fit bushings as is or require honing to size......... Also curious to know if anyone has used the so called upgraded but pricey needle bearing type & what the end result opinion might be.
