Which of these can be adjusted, and what are the correct settings for '59?

 

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.

 

Wow, this was a pretty old thread!

These manuals are great, and have always come in handy. The online store here sells them as well, on CD ROM.

 

i am having big time trouble removing steering box what holds it to the steering colum

 

Yeah, two things actually:
1. Who's buried in Grant's Tomb?; and
2. When WAS the War of 1812?

Thanks Kenny, I wait with baited breath for answers to these awe-inspiring cunundrums....
LOL,
