I found this article that supports all your post advice above. It descibes front 4wd straight axle dodges but should relate.

I do have a slight toe-in that I will put back to straight - zero. My truck drives very well. I just want it to be a little better and I do take it on long truck show trips.

I also brought this up because I have a thread in 47-59 where I just added power steering to my 59 GMC Fleet 2wd straight axle and added a 6 degree shim. I removed the factory 2 degree shim. I see now that it relates little to a 4wd straight axle. Since I put power steering on the 59, making the leap to a 4wd is not as great. Change my pitman arm sector shaft to a 4wd shaft and use the 4wd pitman arm. Not sure on draglink length yet. I have a 12 bolt already in the 59 rear - 3.73 and I have a very good NP208 in hand. I have a rebuildable 4wd 700R4. My Dana 44 front in waiting just at the moment has the wrong gearing - 3.07.
