Hi guys, I am trying to find a place that does alignment on my '88 2 wheel drive 1 ton 3500 dually..It seems like since it is a 1 ton the standard alignment rack only does up to 3/4 tons.. I did find one shop that does heavier frames but they only start at year models 1992? I figure that since our trucks were produced from 88-98 a 1992 C3500 2wd application should work? I believe they still used the front suspension as a '88?
I think there is just a 30 year cutoff, that they automatically assign...

I'd expect anyone who wants work would be willing to research the specs for your vehicle.

They'll be published in the service manual. I'm sure they're the same--or similar--to the '92 specs; but I don't know that for sure.

Hey good to hear from you Shurkey, I remember you from Team Chevelle! I was looking at the rear upper suspension "no hop" control arms on my drag car '70 Monte (and the greaseable parts you recommended doing years ago) last week. For sure, I talked to the service manger and he left a message with the alignment guy. so hopefully they get back to me. I will check out the service manual as well

All GMT400 2wd dually use the same alignment specs regardless of engine size or wheelbase.
Yes, the '88 is the same as the '92.

What kind of junk alignment machine cuts off specs for 30+ year old vehicle?
My Hunter DSP600 can go back to the 1930's.

Yes, I don't know why? I figured it would be the for '92... I know someone at the dealership I might get him to ask..
