I have done a disc brake conversion on my 68 F-100 using a 1973 F-100 spindles. Now my camber is way off. Is this common? What would be the best way to fix this?

 

It is very common. Happens about everytime that you don't swap the complete I-beam.

No Biggie though, a quick trip to the aleignment shop will get you going again.

I swapped out the complete front end complete w I beams from a 78 to a 72 for better braking (disc for drum). Replaced bushings as I put it in and never had to take it in for alignment. I got feed back from others on this web site before I started and took their advice. Made my life easier and gave me a safer ride. Thanks to everyone out there for their help!

 

According to my Chilton's manual, the king pin angle on these trucks changed in various years. When I changed over my '70, I replaced everything from ONE donor, just in case. If it's out a little, they can bend the I-beams. If it's out a bunch, you need to find the right I-beams. I'm not sure how much they can bend the beams safely.

 

Jay, I don't know anything about king-pins. My manuals and parts catalogs told me that the parts were not the same so I left that alone! I do know I don't want anyone bending my I-beams. This is just one of the reasons that when I made the switch from drum (72) to disc (78) I swapped out the entire front end without any problems. You might want to consider that if its not already to late! Best of luck, Lee.
