I have discovered that my rear bogie pins are worn and the bogie arms have play. What is the best solution for fixing this on a 73? Can it be machine to install the larger newer style pins, should I try to find a newer rear suspension, or just replace the OEM pins and be done? Any opinions?

Just went thru this while I was near Cinnabar, maybe give them a call. I think they sell the pin/bushing rebuild kit they installed on my '73 passenger side, and I think you can buy the upgraded pin setup from them and do both sides.

We have a loaner reamer program as the reamer to use must reach the other
side to help cut properly.

Is there a way to tell if my early unit was upgraded or not? Is there some kind of identifying mark on the pins or other characteristic that id's the bigger pins (aside from removing and measuring, of course}.
But on that note what is the size difference?
