The Ford Barn

I had just checked the alignment on my 36 Ford. I’m running a 4” dropped axle, the total Camber measured at negative 1 degrees. The Ford specks are 0 to 1 degree positive.

My choices to correct the camber are.
1. Remove the axle and send it out for adjustment.
2. Find a local shop that will cold bend the axle on the car. A common procedure many years ago, however after many calls, it seams to be a lost art. I did call some diesel truck shops but I was told that the alignment rack is to big for my car.

Before I go with option 1, Does anyone know a shop in New England that can cold bend an axle on the car?
