Man I feel for you, as an alignment shop owner for over 20 years stories like this rub me raw. 72 specs was with bias ply. Square body specs would work, they like caster
Greater than 3.5, preferably 4.5. A simple test drive afterwards should have told them something wasn't right, and if your centerlink was backwards and they didn't catch it, find another shop. After aligning late models with electric steering and resetting steering angle sensors, aligning old rigs is 10 times easier. Ask the person who worked on your truck to ride a motorcycle with the forks straight up and down.
