Alignment for Static Dropped C10's

[robber grin]

I have a 1962 C10 with a 1978 cross-member, 2 1/2" Bell spindles and 3" coils for 5 1/2" of front static drop

6" out back with blocks and coils, adjustable bar, and c notch...

so it's rather low by my mechanic's standards.


He is unable to align the front end due to "the bars that hold the upper control arms to the chassis are in backwards" (odd since I never had them off the control arms of the donor clip) and the studs are too short to achieve the proper camber and caster adjustments.

I'm perplexed since I know MANY folks on here run a similar set-up...

is a proper front end alignment no longer an option for us in the static lowered category, or do I need the advice of another mechanic?

the icing on the cake is he is pushing me out to get another car in and I still have no turn signals or column wiring function and a generator light with the truck off.

Love it
