JaysonK Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Okay I messed up and dug into a project and did not do enough pre planning....I am replacing the kingpins in my 1952 B3B and I do not have the shop manual. I have ordered it but it will take a week to get here anyone know of where I can get to the pages online? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dozerman51 Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 The "Pilothouse Knowledge" site has a 1953 B-4 series Dodge shop manual you can download. Don't see why that manual would be all that different than what you are looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are very snug looks like I am going to need to tap it in with a hammer? I thought they were suppose to slip right into place? I have checked and double checked with D!MC and I have the right set for the truck, I have never done this before so I have no reference.

Merle Coggins Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 New bushings need to be reamed to fit the pins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaysonK Posted June 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 If I put this axle in correctly the shocks go toward the font correct? The axle bends toward the back of the truck? I would hate to think I put this whole thing in backwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
