Alignment Specifications

I have a 1985 Ford Bronco V8 5.8L carburator 4WD, I tried to get alignment done, however the mechanics place said that the truck is too old and he can not find the information he needs to perform alignment, I tried to find it but no luck, Please e-mail me if you have an idea on what to do .
