Kingpin fit issues

[yossarian19]

So, I've never had a vehicle with kingpins or worked on them before. Need some advice.
My '57 has play in the driver's side kingpin. With brand new bushings & pins, I'm noticing a slight amount of play between the top bushing & the spindle. I'm noticing more play between the kingpin & the axle (with the lock pin loose). Not gross, under a millimeter of gap at the top of the axle.
I am trying to slow the bleeding $$ for the moment...
So...
Do I put it together & run it for a while, then have parts machined & sleeved later?
Or is that inviting further harm / disaster?
The way I am thinking about it, hey, I'll someday get the axle bores reamed & sleeved to fit anyway. Why worry about it this very minute if it won't cause problems beyond tire wear?
Sound right?
