69 Short step front alignment specs

At last I have finished my project.
It has ECE 4/6 static drop, wheels are 255/50/17, motor is TPI

I mailed Mark at ECE, to ask for a good alignment, since my truck was all over the road. Well, I had mounted the centerlink backwards...
Othervice I shoud go with factory alignment specifications.

Does anyone know what those are?
Thanks,

The thing I've never understood about the "specs" is that if it's still wrong for whatever reas9n the alignment shop or whoever does it will change it till it's right anyways. You can check the pdf service manuals. Do a search here and that should yield your answers. Best of luck!

When I reinstalled the centerlink correctly, I altered the toe in setting...
Here in Norway most of the alignment shop has never adjusted an old pickup.
i was thinking, what caster/camber/toe-in angels will work on my setup?
I'll try to do a search, thanks!

BEMERDOC did a great write up. Not sure how to embed a threat. Look up his tread regarding "magic button".
