1949 GMC pick-up
A friend of mine has a 49 gmc p/u he drives it about once every 5 years. I was doing a lube job on it and found the caps for the top of the king-pins are missing, either they were left off or lost?? I can't find them by them selves seems only buy buying complete set
of king pins to get any ideas?
ThanksCharlie

Charlie,
Had not seen this before and not sure exactly what type the chevy has, but Speedway has some loose caps - http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Weld-R...-Cap,4555.html
If they are the type that are held in by the threaded zirk, I would think you could make one from some thin plate, or maybe drill out a quarter (or a larger diameter foreign coin) and file to fit?Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Charlie, why don't you give Mr. Stacey Brown a ring in Arlington, Texas. He is a fine old gentleman and helping people with old auto parts is his passion. Here is his website with all his information. http://www.antiqueautosupply.com/
I found out about him on Bob Phillips "Texas Country Reporter" TV Show - >http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VadAcb94GZELast edited by MelloYello; 01-22-2011 at 06:55 AM.

or the right sized expansion plug---back in those days things were a size that you can measure---so measure it and get a couple of plugs and wack them!!!
or grease it till the grease ozzes out

I check in everyday and some are better than others. I don't think Brent has anything to do with the forum anymore, but I'm not sure. Hopefully as time moves on the forum will get better.
Where is everybody?
