I am now curious to know what the outside dimension is for a 3/4 ton kingpin bushing. These bushings are designed for a press fit in the 3/4 ton spindles. If this dimension is larger than the hole in a 1/2 ton spindle, it seems like the 1/2 ton spindle could be bored to fit the 3/4 ton bushing.
Then you would need to know what the inside diameter of the 3/4 ton bushing is to see if a 1/2 ton kingpin will fit inside of it.
The 3/4 ton bushings need to be reamed to fit the 3/4 ton kingpins, so maybe they can be reamed to fit the 1/2 ton kingpin.
So here is what we need to know to see if we can use 3/4 ton bushings to repair otherwise shot 1/2 ton spindles without the high expense of a machine shop to make new oversized bushings.
-Outside diameter of a 3/4 ton bushing.
-Inside diameter of a 3/4 ton bushing.
-outside diameter of a 1/2 ton kingpin.
Anybody have new ones laying around to measure?
