kingpin update
i got me some oversized pins and i am glad i did.
the previous pins and bushings were installed 3000 miles ago with the bushings upside down.
thus no lubrication.
the spindles and axle holes were wallered out in an  egg shape.
i had to machine down the parts to make everything square and then use all the shims provided with the new pins just to do one side!
luckily we were able to scare up more shims and thus were able to finish the job.
right now my steering is VERY stiff.
so i am forced to go cruising around the neighborhood making lots and lots of turns breaking it all in before our vacation cruise.
boohoo poor lil ole me.
forced to drive my toy even more than usual.

Billy,
Keep it on all fours around those turns!  Glad it'll be safe for the trip.

ya know?
the steering didnt seem sloppy to me at all.
it didnt wander on a crowned road or anything like that.
i didnt get speed wobble either.
but when i jacked the tires off the ground and got a 6 and 12 o-clock hold of it
there was an unacceptable amount of movement
maybe a half inch or a little more.
my spindles are worn as well but with the new pins installed i got the movement down to a 8th of an inch.

1/8 inch is pretty good. I'll bet the reason it was handling so well before despite the excessive play was  because you have a lot of positive caster. I'm glad to hear the new pins worked out good for you!

i am going to put a piano hinge in the front and a latch at the rear so that it can only be opened after unlocking and opening the tailgate
inside the bed are 2 storage compartments and the gas tank.
