how does that go? mark the floor & measure between marks? do you use a straight edge across the tire,or ?

Yes ,mark the floor and measure. That way I get full tire dia at mark so true toe.
Everything is so tight around the wheel and the chassis low this was the way I came up with and a grove in the tire tread made it very repeatable.

That's a great tip if you're working alone
We used to use a handle out of shop broom and a marker when had a helper.

I like the idea of bolting to the ujoint,,, upgrade! Lol
Re: Let me start!!!!!!!!
Fred I made the holes a little big & used one of the little ubolts so it would have a little wiggle room,,, like yours has I think you could just bolt something to the yoke big enough so it cant come back thru the hole, would do the same thing . But we were all three definitely on same path !
Re: Let me start!!!!!!!!
Like Poboy said, a little wiggle room. That wiggle room is a lifesaver and makes the job a whole lot easier.
Re: Let me start!!!!!!!!
You know when I looked at yours I thought I bet he had to loosen those bolts up when he was trying to get it in. My first try I just had a flat platform -this pc of alum,,, & it got in the way so I knew it needed to hang off it so on round 2 I bent up the edge to bolt to yoke & drilled a second hole in the base so the chunk could hang off it.
Re: Let me start!!!!!!!!
Been tough this winter for me. First the knee replacement and though it went well and am happy with it I was pretty much a couch potato for a while. Once I got going I over did it and ended up with carpal tunnel BAD in both hands, practically an invalid so useless.
Got them shot full a steroids and have surgery booked but at least now I can do a bit.
Bought a new pair a tires for the front. Going from 185/60-14 on 6"s to 205/50-15 on 7"s. 1" more back space and 1" wider tire but same overall diameter so shouldn't interfere with the fender and still lots a room inside.
