Anybody know alignment specs? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Posted in the 4x4 section but didn't get a response. Anybody know the camber/caster degrees and the toe specs for a 1960 K20? The front end is original! I believe it's a Dana 44 closed knuckle with manual steering. Any help is much appreciated!

I'm thinking probably neg .5 to 0-camber, .5 - 1.5 + caster, and 1/16 to maybe 1/8 toe from what I've read but haven't seen much on old stock 4x4's and don't trust the guys at the alignment shop to know or find the specs for my truck. Any help is appreciated and Thanks in advance.

caster +1 +- 1/2
camber +1/2 +-1/2
toe + (in) 1/16 to 3/16 1/8 preferred
always have the left side slightly more + camber than the right (about 1/4 degree)
