odd tire wear

i have a 1993 ford f150 xl with the 4.9l striaght six. I have noticed that the passenger side front tire has not wore at all on the top/inide of the tread but the outer part of the tread has worn completely bald. Any ideas as to what is going on?

If the tire is only worn on the outside, the tire is most likely toed-in. The tire is trying to turn the truck in while the other three are keeping it straight. Thus wearing the tread on the outside. It most likely needs an alignment.
