Does anyone know what the specs would be for an alignment on a 1/2 ton '55 2nd series? I don't know if it matters, but I have radial tires on it. The local alignment shop only has specs back to '79.

Thanks!

I believe your answer is in the 55 2nd series shop manual located at the Keith Hardy site.

I don't know about the radial tires. A good tire shop should know what difference that makes if any.

radials don't change anything

I don,t know what the specks are but I set the caster about 1-2 degrees pos. The camber is not adjustable unless you want to bend the axle. I set the toe in a little less then specks with radial tires. 0 to 1/16 in. toe-in.
