King pin replacement

[Jred]

Looking for a thread or a “how to”, a walk through if you will on how to replace the king pins on my 1970 Avanti II. I have the kingpins,bearings/shims and A-Arms.

A Studebaker Avanti shop manual reprint from SI might be a good investment for you.

I have the manual and supplemental manual. Got used to reading and looking at pictures on how to threads for vintage landcruiser, thought it was worth a shot seeing if something like that existed for these relics.

The Studebaker Avanti shop manual gives a pretty step-by-step guide of what's involved. This has also been covered many times in the AOAI magazine and SDC's Turning Wheels. Bob Johnstone's Avanti page is another good source of info.  For specific questions you can always ask here and someone who's "been there and done that" will usually chime in with an answer.
