Something I don't understand.  I thought the spindle was the same from '52
('51??) through '59.  If I'm right, why would this kit stop at '54?

Hi Leon!
  What would make the difference between a couple of hours and a long
afternoon? Any helpful hints for those who have never done it?

I did this on my 53 3100.
It took about an afternoon to re-assemble and get the truck back on the road.
If I were to do it again it would probably only take a couple of hours.
It made a world of difference in steering effort compared to worn king pin
bushings.

regards,
Leon
