Front Wheel Alignment '83 Chevy Forward Control Chassis
I dunno if this is the right place, but does anyone know where the tracking/front wheel alignment details could be had for this chassis?

I'd think any alignment shop that works on GM trucks would have access to the parameters to align the RV.

Most chevrolet truck service centers will know the alignment settings.
I would first check the airbag pressure in the front coil springs and the ride hight.
If the pressure has not been maintained it will upset the geometry of the suspension and cause excessive wear to the inside of the tread, giving the impression it is an alignment problem.

Here are the specs we recommend based on proper ride height.
Camber=RF 0.25 LF 0.00 degrees
Caster= 5.0-6.0 degrees
toe in = .25 inches total
And if you experience excessive wear on the inside tread.....it is an alignment problem (due to ride height changing the alignment

No excessive wear is on the outside of the tread.

I can get the blog but the link to the odd on that page (hosted at bdub.com) didn't seem to be working.
