Well guess what decided to snap on my yesterday? The kingpin in my 71. Ya, almost left me stranded. it snapped and I could only turn to my left. And my tire was at a 45 degree angle to the ground. If I wanted to go right the point where the drag link and pitman arm meet hit my axle tube. Luckily where I needed to go only required left turns! :thumbsup:

But now I am in dire need of a coil sprung D60 so please if anyone has one or knows someone that does, I would prefer to trade some of the stuff I have for sale since I don't have a lot of cash. But if it won't cost me an asslaod I may be able to pay cash (~$200).

I agree, you won't find a d60 around here for $200. I have seen them sell at swap meets for $600-800 needing rebuilt. I think you would have a better chance of finding one in your price range in Wyoming being folks are a little behind with technology and computers to know what they are worth vs here. LOL
