My local Firestone Service Center was able to do the alignment on my '73 F100. Worth a phone call.

Thanks. I've had one done at a similar shop but not what I'm looking for. I know most shops will do it but I need some shims to straighten things out and 99% of alignment techs don't know what that is.

Hey Goose,
I don't believe you will find a place in ATL to work on these old trucks. you will notice in ATL mostly newer cars and TUNER stuff.

When I moved from FLA, I lived in Cumming Ga.
I always used
Campbell Tire
502 N. Main St.
Alpharetta Ga. 30009
770-751-9811
Give them a call before driving the 20 miles or so.
If they can't help you they probably will be able to recommend someone,
If they strike out there try around looking Ballground, Blue Ridge, or Blairsville areas.
Lots of old trucks around the small towns there.
Good luck.

Great boiled peanut stands up that way too. Peanuts should have just been harvested so they’ll be very fresh.

Finding someone that can bend the axle, if needed, is next to impossible anymore.

Great glad they took care of you.
They were always good, sent several guys with older trucks there and always had good replies.
Do they still have that old antique wrecker out front on Hwy 9??
