Alignment specs

Hello could someone tell me the Alignment Specs of a 1996 Ford F150 RWD. It has the 4.9 I6 Motor with a Standard Transmission.

The Alignment readout we got in February of this year was the camber reading -0.7 degrees on both sides and the toe reading -0.24 on both sides. Is this truck in need of an alignment? It has brand new tires on it.

Specifications are in diagram.

The camber is within specs but at the outer end.

For toe-in, (1) indicates in degrees whereas (2) is in inches.

Toe-in is also within specs.

If there are no abnormal tire wear or steering pulling etc, it is not necessary to have any alignment done.
