Caster settings 1977 C10

[idahovette]

On C10s you gotta put shims on the front bolt or take shims out of the rear bolt to increase Caster. You need the angle of the upper ball joint rearward from the lower (+Caster)Adding shims to either will increase Camber, but you gotta know how much does what. Experience will teach you how many shims and what thickness and where to put them.........Then set the toe....(@bucket )...lol

Yep big chain shops are only for modern toe an go daily drivers.

Custom stuff needs a good small independent shop. I usually set lowered stuff to these specs, if you can locate a shop that will do it. This has worked good for me on trucks from the 60s through 98.

Caster +5.0 or as close as possible. Match the side that maxes out first if it can't get to 5. They should be the same on both sides.

Camber -.5 to -.75. It won't wear the tires till you get over -1 an it helps with fender clearance.

Toe 1/16" in

Unless it'll be an in-town only aggressive driver, then you can go with some more camber if you want better handling. I always set my stuff to 1-2* of camber and never had any weird tire wear until I started going on thousand mile + highway trips lol
