Yeah, I re-strung the strings and made sure they were exactly the same distance apart at the rear of the truck and the front of the truck. And parallel with the truck.
I think I was in 1/2 inch too far.
So, maybe they were originally only 1/4 inch toe out.
Either way, I'm first going to take it for a test drive this afternoon, but then I'm going to string the lines one more time to verify.
I know this method works, because I did it on my 65 early on - along with a framing square for camber, and the tires wore evenly and it didn't pull any direction.
