Re: 89 GMC Cummins conversion

Yep truck looks great . Agreed on rebuilding D60 king pin vs. ball joint . I did cheat on mine tho . Did the bearing and stuff in the bottom but did not actually remove the top pin with the 7/8 as Ryan suggested . Just did the big bushing and a new spring . Was going to do the pin tho. I bought a 7/8 coupling nut and planned to use it in the pin and a big bar on the other end . Chickined out tho as mine was in there good . Made it easy to decide the pin was good enuf and just install the big bushing and call it a day . It was Beer :30 by then anyways .

You back up to your 5th wheel trailer yet to see if you will be able hook to it ?
