Re: Crushing Gumby 71 Shortbed Patina build

Once the reflectors were in place Brock got up and turned the wheels back and forth to get the truck squared up on the lift.

The computer matched the movements of the truck and when it was happy that the laser was showing it was square we were able to get the current setting of the camber/caster/toe

And once the wheels were straight, these are the readings we came up with.

Now thats a lot of red... not that it was horrible but some issues were obvious right away that to you or me, with a tape measure we would never be able to fully get perfect. Brock pointed out the obvious difference in camber from driver to passenger side. The toe was also off and the rear end was sitting off to the passenger side too far causing the truck to dog track slightly. Again, from my seat of the pants driving the truck up to this point, I had not really felt it was far off of spec. Now seeing this, I realized it was not really even close.
