Well tore the front end apart today. Job went smooth as silk. Only needed the torch once. The truck did end up having the lower ball bearing under the spindle and not the thrust washer stack up so the kit worked out perfectly. I will include a pic of the bearing that came out. As for the bushings..... after I drove them out I noticed they were split style bushings. Im not sure if these were stock oem originals or not? Someone might know what originals were. I drove the new ones in and reamed them to fit with the “correct” factory tool and the new pin fit up was absolutely perfect just like it was done in the 50’s. All in all wasn’t too bad a job.
