Re: positive camber

Check the studs where the upper control arms bolt on- are there thick spacers that could be ground or machined down to move the upper arms inward? I think squarebodies have thicker spacers than 60-72 crossmembers had, and it's common for squarebody crossmembers to be swapped in.

If it doesn't have thick spacers, with that mild of a drop you could go back to standard height spindles and 3-4" drop springs to change the angle of the A-arms which would give you more negative camber.

It's also possible that the upper arms are made longer to get rid of the thick stack of shims that most trucks have.

My '66 is slightly lower, it has stock arms and crossmember, CPP spindles, stock springs with one coil cut off, and without any shims it has about -1.5* camber.
