Well, I got the '48 off the ground for the first time to survey the status of the undercarriage. All pretty much looked like one would expect 70 year old stuff suspended just off of the ground to look - all of it needing some attention, but nothing urgent with the exception of the left king pin & bushings. The right one has a few thousands play, but the left one is about as floppy as it can get and still be attached to the spindle. I've done them on the '29 Ford. Any special knowledge I should have before pulling the spindles on the D-24? Also found only the right rear upper door hinge pin very loose. All of the others are solid. I am guessing I can just pull that hinge (its recessed in the center pillar). Any thoughts?

Here's somepics from where I installed the new kit from Rusty Hope. Everything went together really easily and fits great. The rotors, bearings, lug nuts, drill bit, and calipers only cost about $250 dollars. Here's my pics of the install. The picture of the top of the king pin shows how the grease caps for the plymouth are smaller than the opening. Guess I have to make some calls to find the upper cap.
