Static dropped 64 - Alignment Specs - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ibrown50 · 06-28-2022, 02:45 AM

Hello,
I’m almost finished the build on my ‘64 and it’s time to get the alignment done. It’s dropped 4” at the front (-2” spindles and -2” spring) and 5” at the rear ( 4” spring and 1” lowering block). Could anyone help me out with the camber, castor and toe-in specs. I’m in England so it’s unlikely my alignment shop will have them

Thanks

A timely post Ian as I am approaching that stage.

Do we have another series of pictures incoming?

If it's just a street vehicle, I'd do as much positive caster as you can adjust into it, about -1/2° to -1° camber (more negative if you want to drive hard), and about 1/16" toe in.

Your shop will likely want degrees for toe. Maths.
