I'll see if I can take a picture of mine next time I come home from school.
If it's spinning while you're cranking on it, there is a section of the bolt behind the steering arm that you can put a wrench on.
I hope that helps. If it doesn't. let me know, I'll find a way to show it.
Thanks for the interest,
Nick,
I was able, with the help of a large hammer, got the bolts out. I guess 60 years of rust was holding them in. Now onto the rebuild. Also, do you know if the king pin is the same on a 3/4 vs 1/2ton? I think I may need to replace one and the 1/2 tons are a lot easier to find.
