Thanks fixite7. I did my own alignment with pvc pipes perpendicular on jack stands at front and rear of truck with fish lines running parallel to the truck. Nobody around to help, so I did it on my own and I think the fish line moved during the process….. your suggestion is exactly what I was thinking- keep it simple and use measuring tape on the tread. I’ll give it a go when I get back in town.
I was obsessed about making sure that the steering wheel was straight during the process and I should have probably worried about that last, rather than while I was setting toe-in. I know that you want the pitman arm to be perfectly vertical when the wheel is centered, and that is what I did when I rebuilt the box and put the arm and steering wheel on.
If anyone knows a cheap method of getting your front tires to go left left-right smoothly while adjusting, please let me know. I couldn’t find any lazy Susans at the thrift store. I’ve heard of using plexiglass sheets with grease between them, but haven’t tried it. Perhaps I am just overthinking it all, like everything else?
