'59 info
Hi, 
According to the shop manual, all are adjustable.
For F-100, F-250- conventional steering - 2 wheel drive:
Caster = 3 degrees
Camber = 1 degree, with variation between wheels of 1/4 degree
Toe in (inches) = 1/16"
King pin incline = 4 degrees
Camber can be adjusted by bending or straightening the front axle. There is a special tool required for this. If you need further info or a picture of the tool, please let me know.
I hope this helps.

You can find manuals for sale at auto swap meets. There's usually a couple of booths selling original shop and owners manuals.
Supposedly these manuals are still available from Ford, but the price I was quoted was much more than the used manuals sell for.

Hey all,
Just purchased a '59 shop manual, '59 4wd service manual, and a '59 parts and accessories book (which will be arriving soon). If I can look anything up for anyone, just let me know.
