Re: Crushing Gumby 71 Shortbed Patina build

The next step was to take care of the Toe issue we had going on in the front. Brock loosened up the tie rods so we could adjust them.

And with one Eye on the computer he was able to adjust each side until it moved into the green on the computer and everything was where it belonged.

This is the same thing we have all done when doing a tape measure alignment in our garages. The difference here is that this is squaring up the whole truck first and that ensures that once you set Camber, you can set the toe and the laser keeps its eye on all the other settings in case your new toe settings alters any of the others. Trust me, this is why you spend the cash on a pro shop to do this job.

Now that we had this toe dialed in, we locked down the upper A arms with the new shims since the Camber stayed right where it was supposed to. Time to move to the back of the truck.
