Hello fellow bolters as a newbie to antique truck restoration I hope I did not offend any one with my questions or replies.I seem to have opened up a can of worms as to the choices of doing a simple but time consuming job of fitting kingpins into the bushings.My origional question was if it normal to have to remove soo much material from a brand new bushing?I just thought a new bushing should be machined to fit the new kingpin that came in the same box.I guess when we are dealing with vehicles that were built 60 plus years ago some fine tuning is to be expected.Getting ready for the sandblaster coming over to do frame tomorrow ,can,t wait to get frame done because now I can start putting parts back on!!!!!
