camber Suggestions

I'm looking for suggestions on camber settings. The truck is a 87 F-350 4wd Crew. It's stock height gt rather tall, has a solid front axle and 37" mud terrain tires. I'm thinking I need some camber for handling and to make the tires last but to much could kill my tires rather quickly.
Any Suggestions

I'm really making a wild guess, but I'd say no more than -0.5 if that.
It's an F350 4wd, I'm not sure what kinda handling you're looking for.

What does stock height gt mean? If its not lifted then I would just get it aligned withing stock parameters. These older Ford trucks are not known for being kind to front tires. If you have a 460 or a diesel the larger off road tires will get worn down alot quicker becuase of the weight on them. Personally, I don't see that changing things will make it any better. In fact it will probably make it worse.
