Can anyone recommend castor & camber settings for my AD without power steering? Thanks

As you are in the UK and drive on the left rather than the right I'd start with 1/2 degee + in the right (closest to the middle of the road) wheel and 1/4 + in the left with between 1 and 2 degrees + caster. Usually 1/4 degree more + in the wheel that will be to the center of a two lane road will help the vehicle track better with the crown in the road.

If the truck is set up for more caster such as 3 to 4 degrees and drives good that works too and will better for higher speeds.

Actually after searching a bit you might want to go with 0 on the right wheel and -1/4 on the left wheel. The factory called for negative camber in both wheels but I have never been found of running very much negative camber unless you are intending to do autocross or some other road course racing.

Your local front end guys probably set front ends so they drive best on your local roads just as our guys do here. Where it rains or snows a lot and the roads have a very noticeable crown to them the camber offset between one wheel and the other will be more than in very dry areas where there is very little rain or snow. One reason that a car or truck that drives perfect close to home might feel like it pulls a bit on roads several states away.
