SFA camber in chewing up tires!

Hey guys i got an 84 with a SFA and i cannot for the life of me figure out how to correct to the camber angle. I currently am running too positive. my truck rides like a baja truck, with the front tires jacked inwards at the top. Can anyone please describe to me how to fix this? Also i have NO lift at all just 33" tires.

hey dudes sorry it took me soo long to get back to ya. I believe its just the trunion, and wheel bearings. I have just put even tires on it and gave it an alignment and itdrives a thousand times better and the tires are sitting correct.

Huh? How would that make the camber seem bad?

To OP, you got it aligned, but did you inspect the trunnions or the wheel bearings? An alignment would not solve a problem with the trunnions or wheel bearings, on a solid axle toy it would only adjust toe setting.

Not to mention, if the alignment shop was even remotely decent, they wouldn't have aligned it with bad trunnions and/or bad wheel bearings. It'd be impossible to do really.

I didn't go to a shop I did so myself to the best of my ability. the numbnuts owner before me stuck a chevy tie rod end in my steering bar that kept my tires toed out constantly. I replaced that and the steering dampener. I then measured the distance from the insides of my tires and set the fronts of the tires in 1/4 inch. all seems much better ni more shakes or getting thrown across lanes, and the tires seem to be even to the pavement now.
