1965 F100 Front End Alignment - 1973 Front End -- Which Alignment Specs?

OK, so I'm nearing completion on the disk brake upgrade which was done utilizing the full front end change out from a 1973 front end. I plan to do a field alignment but will take it to the alignment shop later.

I'm assuming when I go to the alignment shop I should tell them to utilize the 1973 specifications, not the 1965 -- correct?

Im just a noob to this but it would seem to me that it doesnt really matter because all youve done really is change some parts that are essentially applicable to both model years. I would lean twds using the 65 specs because the truck is still a 65.

that was my initial thought however I don't know if the addition of disk brakes over the drum brakes changes anything in the alignment specs....
