57 Alignment Specs Question

Does anyone have any knowledge of what the front end alignment specs are for a 57 F100. The actual FoMoCo specs or any personal experience of what works well without excessive tire wear, would be great.
I appreciate everyone in this excelent (think tank) forum for the help I'm getting with my truck.

The original specs are meant for slow speeds and rough terrain. Camber is set by the axle, Caster 3-4 degrees can be set with tapered shims between the axle and spring. 1/16- 3/32" toe in should work well for highway cruisin.

I suppose that my 8"x15" (w/215x75 tires) front wheels might make some difference too, don't ya think?
