Do you have a print-out of the alignment specs he used?
The front track width will be wider than the rear w/disc brakes. The factory fixed this by utilizing a slightly wider rear housing in 71 (to better match the slightly wider front). I always run narrower front wheels (6.5" van ralleys) & wider rears (8" truck ralleys) as a cheap way around the wider disc brake front (6 & 8" solid steelie combo works well too ).

The print out he gave me dosen't say anything about width. Just
L --------------------- R
1.04' --- camber------ 0.28'
2.30' --- caster -------2.54'
0.22 --- toe ----------0.19
. = degree
He said that the drivers front has no more adjustment, and was the closest he could get it. If I were to raise it back, then he would be able to get it within tolerance.
When I dissasembeled the front with the springs I go the truck with. The lower a arm had to got almost 90 degrees down to get the spring out. The STD springs that I put in, the a arm was almost at a 45 degree and was able to get the new springs in.
Is it possable that the prior owner put lifting or leveling springs in the front when he put those big U G L Y tires and rims on?
But still, this is stock ride hight why do I have such clearance and geometry problems. This is going to drive, me to smoke again.
I was reading the suspention thread "Make it handel"

and read the part about pushing through the corner. Now this dosen't happen whil driving. But is reall bad, say, pulling into a parking space, or my driveway.
