King-pins
Oh wise Folks!
I am looking into acquiring a set of king pins for F60 front axle repair. This is not an immediate need, but no harm in starting to look around now. The question is: Are the king pins interchangable with any other Ford truck etc..? I seem to see king pins for sale everywhere, but don't know which, if any, would be suitable. Maybe they are not something which even needs replacing. Again, I don't know this, not even looked yet.

Headlights back together.
Amongst the other jobs, I have been working through final stages of rebuilding the headlights and dress rims.
Headlights as found.jpg They now look ever so slightly better than 'as found'. Headlight blasted.jpg I recall when the bowls came back from sandblasting. They didn't weigh as much on the way home, as opposed to when they went away! Headlights assembled.jpg The rear of bowls are to be painted next weekend, while nose panel outside is painted. The inside of the bowls are painted in gloss 2 Pack green. Color is different but thats not important as they won't be seen. I just used a green I happened to have some time ago. Headlights finished 1.jpg Headlights finished 2.jpg One of these dress rims had two dents in it. Hopefully you can't tell now. Was 60 mins of light 'tapping' with a jewellers hammer to get to present stage. I'm happy with the result.

Underbody sealer applied to Nose panel
Nose ready for underbody sealer.jpg
No time was available for CMP work yesterday, so application of underbody sealer has minimised what could be done today. Nose with underbody sealer.jpg Nose with underbody sealer 2.jpg Nose with underbody sealer 3.jpg Nose with underbody sealer 4.jpg There was a 4 hour delay while waiting for sealer to dry, and it's messy stuff to boot. Very difficult to apply in some of the tighter spots.

Nose Panel - inside/underneath painted
Nose inside painted 1.jpg Nose inside painted 2.jpg Nose inside painted 3.jpg Nose inside painted 4.jpg Nose inside painted 5.jpg
Insides of nose panel are now painted. I had just enough time to get insides and underneath painted before light failed.

Headlights
I can remember Hughes Auto Spares had these brand new in original boxes back in the 1970s.

Headlight trims
Keith,
I don't suppose they have any left, do they?  They may not even be alive now, come to think of it! T.

Dead as door nails.
That business closed around 1978 when I was overseas, with a huge amount of slow moving 'useless' stock like that going into skips.
Jack O'Donnell who ran the place died sometime in the 80s I believe.  Jack O'Donnell Quote:

'Useless' stock
Narrow minded bastards!
When will people learn. NEVER throw anything away....vintage at least. That's one good thing about the internet I suppose, you can find out quickly that something is worth more than you thought. Hopefully I can get it with a 'buy it now' before seller realises that though Almost makes you wanna dig up some old rubbish dump..........almost. Don't fancy all those used syringes, tin cans & crappy nappies! On the other hand, you may discover what happened to Donald Mackay!

Some of the stuff
From memory there were exhaust systems, wiring looms, instruments, transfer case power take off conversion kits, windscreen glass, Chev distributors, rear shrouds for the radiator, splash panels for Fords, including the ultra-rare one that goes under the radiator, known as the lower radiator shroud (see section K3 of your MB-F1, top right pic).
