Why are front tires wearing on the outsides?

Camber out of adjustment with toe ok will make the tire become cone shaped.
Toe in would wear from the outside to inside. If you rub your hand across the tread outside to inside and it feels smooth, then go the opposite direction and the tread grabs your hand, that is a good indicator of incorrect toe.

Sounds like your alignment is off and you have positive camber.

My 78 F250 2WD has always done the same thing. My dad bought the truck new, and he's always been under the impression that the camber is fixed...and the only way the change it is heating the beams. Several people have told him this over the years. I have a hard time believing that.
I know some vehicles have a cam in the king pin. Do these trucks have adjustable camber? How do you do it?
I bet it has 5-7 degrees of positive camber.

Beams do need to be bent to correct camber........camber is fixed on the twin I beams.........double check everything else before resorting to it though.......having the wrong front springs installed can affect camber.........beams do need to be cold bent, not heated.......a heavy truck shop that does alignments on big trucks should be equipped to do it.......however........finding a technician that is capable of doing it anymore may be an issue..........
