Re: '52 3800 disc brakes

if the plan is to use a 1/2 ton spindle then cleaning and reaming the axle kingpin hole, to ensure it is round etc, and having a new steel bushing/sleeve pressed into the 3/4 ton axle would be what I would do. you may end up swapping out a few other things as well, like the pitman arm, but that would be because it is worn out or because the length would be different than the 1/2 ton. if you lower the truck that also changes the pitman arm relationship to the steering spindle connection.
