your hot link to allpar will not work..my repair manual has the specs in the book....while not considered radial tire tuning of the suspension, I am certain that it will meet your driving needs.   A well organized front end shop would have aligned your car.  I am thinking you need another opinion...look in front suspension section for said specs...only the tires are changed unless you have done other upgrades not mentioned here and thus the components and geometry should be applicable..carry your repair manual next time you go in...

Your image link is not working, looks like AllPar is detecting and rejecting cross site image linking. I took a quick look at the AllPar site to see what page you saw that on and struck out.

 

The 1946-54 Plymouth Factory Service Manual shows for 1952:

 

Camber: -3/8 to +3/8 degrees

Caster: -1 to +1 degree (0 preferred)

Toe-in: 0 to 1/16 inch (0 preferred)

King Pin Angle: 5 to 6 1/2 degrees

OK - I am so often disappointed by the lack of info in my manual I avoid/forget to look - I was wrong second page of the suspension section has specs.

the citation of the whole article is

http://www.allpar.com/history/mopar/front-end-alignment.html

Thanks for the info.... 

Turns out that the tech where I bought the coker tires can not even modify the computer it can only read from the database that starts in 1965.

Called a friend who referred me to a shop that has been around before 52 and knows what there doing - problem solved
