rich, if you have a torch, not a bad job, before you start look at the top and bottom of the king pins to see if there is a circlip in there. they need to come out first, then there should be a little metal cap, kind of like a welsh plug. (helps to hold the grease in). next, on the side of the i-beam right at the knuckle, there is a keeper bolt going thru about the center of the king pin on the i-beam side. it will run front to back of truck. remove the nut and drive the bolt out. next get a block under the i-beam as close to the king pin as you can, without covering the king pin. an 8x8 timber with a solid piece of steel on top, or a small section of railroad track works good. lower the i beam down on the steel so it has a lot of vehicle weight on it. (lets the hammer blows hit home without loosing force thru the suspension) heat the i beam part (where the pin goes thru) dull red and drive the pin down and out with a short handle 3 pound sledge hammer. use a large drift or piece of steel bar stock a little smaller than the diameter of the king pin. a sawed off 3/4 or 7/8 inch bolt works good. leave the head on the bolt to pound against. you can weld a small handle on the bolt so you dont whack yer hands. if you can, get the nylon insert king pin set so you dont have to ream the bushings. ........and that 292 with the front exhaust will really put some burns on yer forearms when ya work on em!!!
if you have access to an air hammer, a 1/2 inch round punch bit drives the king pins out pretty easy.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
