Oh...I thought this place was only for 67-72 trucks. Seems like everyone gets cranky when things go off topic these days, didn't want to make anyone cross.

Anyway, I just had my '79 C-10 aligned due to uneven tire wear. Before the alignment the truck felt very tight, cornered and tracked well.

Since the alignment it seem to want to wander a bit on corners, you can really feel it on long sweeping ones. It's just unsteady, feels like you are fighting it trying to make a smooth corner. It seems like it tracks pretty straight, but it seems a bit looser over all.

They sheet shows they used '82 specs, not '79...not sure if that's part of the issue or not. I know these square bodies are all pretty similar...

This is how they left it with the '82 specs:

Caster (1.6 - 2.6 deg):

Left 1.9
Right 2.6

Camber (.2 - 1.2 deg):

Left .7
Right .5

Toe (.15 - .25 deg):

Left .20
Right .20

Thanks,
