Alignment specification 84 F250

Hi

New on the forum, been watching forum for a long time, but now that I bought Ford truck a had to join here also.

I have a question already
I need to do an alignment on my 1984. I have alignment bushings 0-3 degress but I'm from Slovenia-Europe and here in alignment shops don't have the alignment specifications for US trucks and I can't find it anywhere on the net. Does anyone have the alignment specification for my truck?
regular cab, 6.9 engine with 44TTB front axle.

Thank you

Thank you very much

Are this camber numbers ok? -1,5 to 3,5
Camber should be around 0 or a bit on the + side??

Hi

I been on alignment on friday and as I expected it was way off.
Front camber was 1.27 left and 1.31 right
Caster was 3.3 left and 3.4 right
Toe was -0.15

we changed the bushings which was quite easy job and these are results.

Front camber 0.26 left and 0.31 right
Caster 3.8 left and 3.9 right
Toe +0.06

Tires are now standing like it should and driveing is way better.

Thank you all for your help.

Which bushings do you replace Filko? The tops of my tires are sitting way in on mine. Front end guy said that's just the way they sit. Yeah, whutever.

Here's a picture of the bushing. The upper balljoint does not fit into the axle beam, it fits into this bushing. Then the bushing fits into the axle beam. See how the hole is not in the center? The alignment guy turns the bushing and that moves the balljoint and thus the whole wheel.

I just checked LMC truck and could not locate this. Maybe an F250 is different from my F100...Any ideas?

Type in "camber bushing" at Advance Auto's site. They have a bunch of them on there. One of them is part number K8668
