The axle seals I purchased from bronco graveyard. The trunion bearigns and races I purchased from a bearing supplier like Timkin...I just did these on my pickup last year Lemme see if I can find the part numbers for the bearings and the races for you. the wheel bearings I was able to locate locally at the parts house. same with the axle u-joints.

Hey Bill, I didint take any pictures when I did all this to my pickup sad to say. The king pins your reffering to are the steer bearings correct? I think there called trunion bearings. If I recall correctly there isnt any seal on those caps. the bearing sits in there then the hub goes over it then the cap is put in with the appropriate amount of shims on each cap and its bolted down. are you thinking about the wiper seal for the hub? its big round and usually is felt with rubber?
