Alignment specs?

[Powerhouse]

Howdy all.  

 

My 39 Ply in need of alignment. 

 

The inside tread of the front tires have worn pretty badly.  I replaced king pins recently and the tie rods are good. 

 

I have seen a string tied between two jack stands used to get toe readings but was wondering if I should take it somewhere.  I asked my local reliable guy and he said he'd need specs in order to give it a try.  He said it would cost around $70.

 

Any ideas on how much it should cost and if it's worth having someone else do it?

Seems it should cost about $70

 

As a "do it yourself", how confident are you vs the cost of tires?

 

 

Edit: modern alignment around here is like $89.95

Alignment specifications can be found in the factory manual and in any MoTors Manual that covers the year of your car.

There's a 1936-42 manual at http://p15-d24.com/files/file/67-1936-1942-plymouth-service-manual/ that has the specs (pg 32).

Thanks all.  I should have mentioned I was at work and didn't have access to my book s at home.  Thanks for the download though that was neat.  I didn't know it was available on the site.

IF your local is a reliable alignment shop they would have these specs at their fingertips...
