F-100 ride height question
I have a 1970 F-100 inline 6 2wd. I have excissive tire wear on the inside. I know its either tow in or positive chamber. Can anybody point in the right dircetion on how to measure, what its suppose to be, and what size tires stock is, so i can determine the ride height of my truck. So I can rule out chamber. Pretty sure my springs are bad. Thanks guys

Do you have excessive wear on the inside of both tires? If so then your alignment is toe out and is usually caused by worn steering components. You need to jack up the front and wiggle the wheels and watch for play in your kingpins and tie rods or it could simply just need an alignment if things have been replaced. I think the closest tire size to the original size is p235/75 r15, somebody can correct me if i'm wrong though. I can't help you on the ride height, I got a 4x4.

Yah its on both tires. I had the same problem a while back replaced king pins and it fixed the problem. Replaced them a second time and it didnt fix the problem. So i guess steering is my next round. Thank you
