Lightbulb Front end Alignment

I have a 88 F-150 4x4 with king pins. When you stand in front of my truck it look like my tires tilt in at the top ( caster /Camber) . It is very very obvious something is out of wack. My question is I have dual shocks on each side (factory) no lift kits installed, can you do a alignment on this truck or do I have something else wrong. I purchased this basket case and restored it to a road worthy truck. Now I am working out the problems you can't find until you take it out on the road.

Front end Alignment

If you check on the trop of the spindle you'll notice a nut. Under the nut is a bushing that has notches cut out of it. This is the camber caster adjustment bushing. Its easy to change but its a good idea to take it to a shop for alignment. Firestone does liftime alignements for about 150.00. With the ttb front end its a good investment. I get my truck realigned twice a year.
Jeffs bronco graveyard has these alignment bushings with pictures.
I hope this help a bit.

New Bushings will get you this l-------l

Good Luck
