Hey guys I just got a 78 for f150 and It's in great shape just way out of line on the front end.. I was hoping I could get a few tips on how to align it back without taking it to the mechanic.. Any help would be great! I will post a pic of the truck tomorrow

 

With out gauges, only thing you can do is to set the toe in. Shoot for 1/16 toed in.

What does your tire wear look like? How does it drive, any pulling to one side, wandering, looseness?

 

It drives good.. It's a little loose and doesn't really wander and tread wear is not too bad.. The main problem is that the steering wheel is 90 degree turned to he left to drive straight

 

Those old steering collums had a splined shaft and wheel. Stop truck with wheels straight ahead, remove steering wheel and reengage. Those where easy to fine tune the steering wheel alignment. Dumb old me, I actually thought you were talking about the front wheels and their alignment.

 

Sounds good.. I just got the truck and motor runs great just got a few kinks to work out.. Replace bushings and that fun stuff .. Thanks fir the help!

 

I'm having a little trouble getting it to idle right.. It will idle good for a bit then it drops down and acts like it wants to die.. Have any ideas what could be the problem?

 

Try running some high test in it, clean out all the old gas, what was one of my problems, And try checking the little ecm it has, Shouldnt be to expensive.

 

nice truck dude.. i espesially like the wheels. want some like that for my 74

 

Didn't catch what engine truck has. If its the 351M/400, they were notorious for intake manifolds leaking. Use choke spray to isolate leak.
