A little time and a bit of elbow grease the Kingpin bushing in the F8 have been changed. As said before I am glad to be able to have access to the correct tooling to complete this repair and amused that it's most likely WWII era with the C /l\ markings.

We were trying to figure out the best way to ensure the Reamer would line up both bushings (drill press/lathe/vice/Clamps) and after a bunch of back and fourth we just decided to wing it. Things went splendidly as the Reamer started with easy and continued all the way through to both bushing straight and true. The next big step is to get the Springs and axle hung on the chassis.
