Re: front allignment data

I would want:

0 degrees camber +- .5 degrees negative
caster: as much + as you can get
toe 1/8" toe in

I posted recently that when I put drop spindles in my 69, I put it on my alignment machine, and was looking for the above. What I think you want to do is is to get the truck on an alignment machine, get it set up and do a caster sweep, just to see what you have BEFORE adjusting anything. Then try and get 0 degrees Camber. After that get as much positive caster as you can. If you drive on the same side of the road as we do in the USA, you would want .5 degrees more caster in the right front wheel to compensate for the crown in the road. If you drive on the opposite side then the reverse.
