Although you're correct, the only vehicles I have owned since the 90s have been k5s, save for that one time I drove a mini van.. we're not going to talk about that haha

I'm going to bring it in and get a print out of my current alignment specs and see what the story is there.. my tires are well worn on the inside as well they could be exaggerating the problem as well.
Anyone happen to know the proper alignment specs for a K5?

I remember 0.12" for toe in (1/8th) There was a TSB for these specs at one point and I think it had to do with increasing a degree or so on the caster.. someone mentioned above about cranking up the caster and thats what reminded me..
