Kingpin removal-am I missing something?
Paul Beard replied to Radarsonwheels's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
Take the axle to Napa on Street road they have a machine shop and they will do the job for you. I'm not sure of the price but you can ask first. -

I have antique tags on my pickup. I live in Pa. and have never seen any YOM plates on antique cars or trucks. Antique plates are a one time caost none expiring and no yearly inspection. My thought is if antique the owner would keep vechicle safe by self inspection.

I have a disc brake setup from AAJ Brakes he uses a front rotor from a 74-81 1/2 ton four wheel drive dodge pickup. They are 12" rotors mopar #67001 I cutoff rivets and took off stock drum and they fit over original hub. -
NAPA has drag links but very pricey about $395.00

Possibly a New Process.

My "53" 1/2 ton has plate on left door post stating factory weight is 3900 from factory and reg. weight should be 4900. You could probably add 2000 lbs. to empty weight. Normal weight for Pa. reg. is 5000 lbs. for 1/2 ton so I guess that either 6000 lbs. for 1 ton.

Your picture is similar to what I have in my "53" truck. Mine does not have any heater core in it. Mine is located on the floor centered under the dash and can be connected to the defroster vents with hoses. Mine sucks the warm air from the floor and blows it up to the windshield defroster vents.
