I finished up what I started yesterday and got the alignment as close as I could to specs but could only guess on caster. Hopefully it will be close enough to drive it to the alignment shop. I managed fine when I did the panel..

Wow! 90 miles is a long way on a guess. If the panel made it, so will the P/U.

I'll test it out here before making the trip, It's fairly easy to make any adjustments if it pulls in any direction and I'd take my time getting there..

Had no problem when I did the panel. I'll be rechecking all my measurements again before road testing and check every nut and bolt on the truck..
