I haven't really checked into it much.but I don't know weathers its the kingpin or the whole spindle. But I know its still holding on at about 45mph.Is there any type of newer truck that will cross with front end of my 57 6100. Does someone also know were I can get a tie rod for my truck? Thank you for your help. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,961 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,961 | The front axle of a 57 two ton is rebuildable. King pins are still available as well as tie rod ends. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 20 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 20 | Do You know where to get the parts at? Thanks | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,961 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,961 | Try Carquest. The parts are not in their computer, only in books for 62 and before. I usually get stuff sent to the local Carquest overnight out of San Antonio. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 720 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 720 | I've always had better luck finding parts at NAPA than anywhere else. Typical parts house attitude is if it's not in the computer, you dont need it (coz I dont wanna look it up or admit I dont know how).
Does depend highly on the quality of the person behind the counter, but I have yet to go into a NAPA that didn't have at least one older guy that knew his way around the books.
1956 GMC 370 dump " 'Tater "1970 VW Volksrod "the Black Bomber" 2007 Chevy Avalanche 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, 2005 Harley Davidson FLHTCUI I dig all cars, old and new, whether they were hammered out of American iron, German steel, or Japanese tin cans. Being unable to appreciate them all is missing out on a world of great things.
But thats just MY opinion! :P
