Ameteur here. I'm glad you posted this video. Helped me understand my '47 studebaker a little bit more.

I just found out today I need to replace these on my 58 Apache and didn’t have a clue on how to go about it, Thanks for showing and explaining how to do this.

Great easy steps to follow thank you 😊

Great video! Rebuilding 54 Chevrolet 3100 and needed the order of installation for king pin. Thanks

Thanks! I actually need to do this in the near future. Your videos really help visualize and plan the project.

Great video! Even though my 51 Pontiac isn’t the same, it’s a similar process and this video was a great visual for me to follow. Thanks for the great video!

Your videos are so informational. Thank you! ❤️

Well done!And just what I needed to know! Thanks!

Thanks for the video great help, be looking for the next one.

From one Dave to another ,thanks again. Your videos are appreciated 👍

impressive!

Thank you. Just what I needed. Keep up the good work.

Thank you

I struggled with a 20-ton press to get one king pin out even after lube, heat, etc. It finally popped and came out though. ‘56 3100 build.

Great video. Keep up these how to videos please. Currently rebuilding a 1955 Chevy 3200

Really enjoying watching all of your videos. Wish you could use my 52 for more tutorials and install all of your parts.

Identifying this as the driver’s (or passenger’s) side of the vehicle could be useful to make sure the drift pin is facing tha correct way to direct the nut to the back side of the axle. My 1948 1-ton, has “knuckle stop" on the back of the axle on each side, that the son also goes through, and then the washer and nut, all facing to the rear.

Great video , just like my 51 dodge kingsway for you mopar guys .

Just found this video as I am preparing to do this job soon. Do the spindles have to be stripped down to exactly the shape shown here? All brakes and steering arms removed?

Good video Do you know where I can get a spindle for a 57 3100

Awesome video. Will this disassembly and install be the same on a 1969 international pick up 1100c?

Thank God for this video. IS IT "THAT'" EASY??!!!! I'm getting ready to do my 54 Chevy truck and my classic car buddies are telling me "you dont want to tackle that"! They're telling me I need a huge press, special tools, something gotta be honed, etc. What am I missing?? Looks easy!!!

Your video was great. Unfortunately the lock pin ( bolt) won’t go thru the hole. I’m tired of hammering! Any suggestions? Thanks.

I'm trying to swap my 49 buick spindle with my 53 Pontiac chieftain. That way I can use my wiilwood rotors and brakes

At the 4.50 point of the video, a spacer is added on top of the flat bearing. Correct me if I’m wrong. That spacer is required for the 1st gen trucks and not needed for the 2nd gen chev trucks.

Mr. Welch, I really have a naggin question. I have a 1959 Chevy Apache I want to use as a driver. QUESTION: Should I graft in a 75 Camaro front clip or just upgrade the original front end. I have been told that with all the upgrades, grafting is starting to decline. Just wondering your thoughts. TY

Could I use this method my 49 buick Or my 53 pontiac chieftain?

this was awesome and quick essentials of kingpins .. So I'm restoring a 91 Econoline and had a replacement kit that had nylon bushings so I don't have to ream for now... managed to get my cross pin out and the zerk nuts off def had plenty of grease. was frozen at first and had to use a hammer but after sitting in the sun they can move by hand.. no matter how hard I hammered with a punch I couldn't get them out and was worried about damaging threads. I noticed the ones in it have brass bushings and when I checked the other side with the wheel still on theres no play whatsoever... So I guess the question is .. If pins are that difficult to remove (despite no play anyway ) its probably a sign that they are perfectly good right? lol I just like to be pro - active and hopefully the bearings dont crap out of nowhere.

Hello, I have the 47-54 Chevy/GMC 3" dropped axle that came on a project truck I bought, but it did not come with spindles and I do not have stock ones for the axle. So my question is will 1940 truck spindles work on this axle?

what about reaming the new bushings? the king pins don't just slide right into the new bushings until they are reamed to the proper size.

Does your kit fit the 3/4 ton chevys? I believe the from axles are the same

There is no need to ream the bushings? These come pre reamed?

U shouldn't lube you're axe eye. U could end up with a loose k.p in the axle. And then you'll need a new axle ore a over seize k.p

I buy a 1958 king pin and bushings gmc for my 1952 truck gmc, fit or no? Thanks

How come you guys dont sell drop axle?

I called brothers last week. About a king pins set for my 57 cameo pickup, I asked if brass bushing Were prereamed they said no., a little confused. , in comments of video.it says they are ?

Helpful. But using a carpenter's hammer was cringe....TY for the vid

i’m never lucky

No safety glasses

If your spindle doesn't turn freely u're car ore truck gonna drive like shit it's going to steer to tight.

Poor screwdriver 😢
