Start by checking your front axle, see if it is bent.

it would be more like toe if it wearing your tires bad....camber on a solid front axel isnt likely unless some front end parts are worn out.....i would go somewhere that does free alignment check and see if its out any

How do you know this? Just because you cannot see it by eye does not mean it is not bent. Actually the axle could be bent enough to throw it off alignment and wear the tires unevenly. But I would also check the front bearings and trunions like others side first. I used to align vehicles even straight axles. Straight axles are the easiest of all of them!

you dont have tortion bars if you have a solid front axle....but anyways unless you have front end parts worn it wont be camber you can check this by jacking up one on the front of your truck and grab top and bottom and see if it has any movement .....you can shake it side to side and check tie rods but if everything looks good i would bet on alignment and i would think any align shop could do it.....do yal have and national tire and battery or a tire kingdom????
