Re: Went for an alignment- positive camber& no shims

Reviving an older thread since I have a similar issue:

My 1968 c20 got a full front suspension/brake overhaul and I ended up swapping in half ton parts off of a 73+ squarebody truck to achieve disc brakes. I used the squarebody lower control arms/spindles/steering arms/brake parts but kept the 68 c20 uppers and put in new ball joints.
Everything went together perfectly although I didn't realize until about a year later that there is a lot of positive camber and there are no shims on the upper control arm cross shafts that I can remove to dial the camber back into spec. Are the 68 c20 upper control arms longer than 73 and later c10 ones? I see now that I should've swapped the full crossmember but it's too late for that.
Is my only option now to try and get some 73+ upper control arms? I'm also at stock ride height, so no issues from drop springs or spindles etc. If anyone has any recommendations, I'm all ears. Thanks!
