That was Ford's truck alignment method right up thru the twin I-beam suspension. Trouble was there weren't very many shops equipped to do it, even dealers. I remember my brother needing his TIB aligned in Buffalo and the dealer sent him to a 18 wheeler shop that was the only place in WNY that had the equipment.

Ax, Funny thing.. I have the tools to adj a I-beam axle, Been doing it for years.. And with a little know how, It can be done quite easly... The basic rule of thumb, And I been teaching it this way for years is.. Front Wheel Drive is toed In, rear wheel drive is toed out.. Having to do with the source of thrust. There a few that do get done the other way around.. But thats the gen. rule of thumb.

Earl.. im not mad.. trust me on that one.. Im just tired.. been working 16 hrs days for 2 weeks with no time off... Im just beat..
