Does someone have the manual with the alignment specs?

I am almost ready to take my 93 2wd D250 to get it aligned and I want to make sure that it is in the ballpark enough so that they can align it. To be more specific, when I replaced the ball joints and control arm bushings I installed the Moog control arm bushings that provide for more positive camber adjustment. I didn't know what that meant at the time (I do now) but I figured anything that provided more adjustment the better after a wreck. Well, what it is, the hole in the bushing is offcenter so that there is already more positive camber, this means the top of the wheel is pushed out. If I had the specs I could decide if I should replace them with regular ones before I have the alignment shop work on it. Or I could even rotate them giving me more negative camber adjustment. In any case if some one who has the manual could tell me what the camber, caster and toe-in are supposed to be I could decide if I am ready for an alignment or if I need to fuss with things more. Driving it, it actually steers real nice, especially after I replaced the steering box on which the Pittman arm shaft was bent so that it would not steer all the way to the right. Todd
