Anybody Ever Adjust Camber Without Machines? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I want to make a quick adjustment to my '72 and get rid of the positive camber I am experiencing (outer edge tire wear) and want to do it myself without having to take it to the shop. That would entail removing the camper and that is a big PITA !
I was thinking of putting a bubble protractor on the tire and watch it as I get near "0" degrees. How do you guys suggest?
How do you adjust the camber? I know the shims on the upper CA shafts are there to adjust caster and the camber both. I don't have the repair manual in front of me so I don't remember off hand.
Thanx!
