Does anyone know what numbers im looking for? You can see how the wheels stick out. Other than the front suspension, its still the same 40 year old mounts and rubber all over the truck.

Im due for an alignment and I can see adjusting the caster, toe, etc etc. But you cant adjust upper and lower control arm out or in, so I guess im lost on how an alignment would help the whole truck.
