Great update. I was very fortunate and only needed to get stock size replacements. Was there any play in the kingpins before you removed them?...
I pressed mine out and replaced them with the kit from our host. It's nice to have an extra set of hands to hang onto the axle while you're...
Thanks for sharing the photos of your progress... looks great! I purchased a new tie rod and modern-style tie rod ends from our host. I think...
Martinius, Sometimes I bite off more than I can chew... but as the old saying says, "Bite of more than you can chew, and chew it well." Kinda...
Nate, It's a great 50' rig. Seeing it up close is another story. The upholstery (if you can call it that in a fire truck) is shot, the...
Wow, pretty proud of it... to say the least. I'm not familiar with this manufacturer. Has anyone here used their products before? If you have,...

My rear cab mounts had shims on the 'cab side' of the mount, nothing under the 'frame side.' I'm guessing this was done at the factory......
Great video, thanks for sharing! Looking forward to following the progress on your project. Damon
I hope everyone enjoyed Thanksgiving. I also hope your surgery goes well, Nate... and that you have a speedy recovery. Don't forget to check in...
I really need to get back to work on mine, too! One of these days, when the floor is fixed from the water pipe leak, the garage guys come to put...
Zig, Everything you see there was included in the kit. Each vendor (both Speedway and our host) included different length bolts for the...
I posted step-by-step photos in my build thread (except for packing the bearings). Neither the Speedway kit, nor our host's kit were direct...
