73 alignment?

My 73 pulls on dry road. It dont on wet road.

I had the tie rods and drag link replaced. The king pins seem to be intact. They take grease. All but the lower side of one.

I want to have it aligned, but I have been told that a specialty shop has to do it do to having to bend the I beams.

My question? What all is necessary for proper alighment? King pins? Other than tie rods and drag link?

Thanks

Proper ALIGNMENT requires:

The front springs can't be worn out.
The shocks can't be worn out.
The front wheel bearings can't be worn out and should be installed correctly.
The Front tires should have at least 50% tread on them.

The gas tanks should be 1/2 to full.

The truck should be loaded with the things that are Normally in it
