you need to be sure you got the bearing type king pins before you try the swap. if you dont, they wont fit. theres a extra bit of clearence machined into the axle for the bearing type king pins. i was gonna be smart on my 66 and use them instead of the bushed type, i was sadly dissapointed when it wouldnt all go back togather. its easiest to do the king pins on the work bench, under the truck sucks. also, did you get nylon pin bushings, or bronze? the nylons can be done in your garage, the bronze ones require a reamer to line them up properly.
