Toe-in spec needed

Anyone know what the approximate toe-in is for a 1981 F100 six cylinder? Cheesy Chiltons and Haynes don't tell...

TIA,
David

Hey David,

Unless you're really good at this and have the right equipment, spend the $35 for a front-end alignment and avoid the headaches. Been there!

All 81s, F100 thru F350:

TOE-IN (inches) From my Ford light truck shop manual

Minimum: 1/32 out
Maximum: 7/32 in
Preferred: 3/32 in

I concur with previous, have it done.

Raul
