toe is easy to fix. You need a buddy, a couple wrenches, and a tape measure.
The adjustment is in the tierods. You'll find two lock nuts on the tierod ends holding a center adjuster in place. Loosen those (one is right hand thread, the other is left hand thread). Then you turn the center adjuster on the tierod to move it in and out.
Get your steering wheel straight on a flat hard surface...if the left is toed in, you'll want to adjust the tierod to be longer.
To fine tune, you may need to adjust both sides. ultimately you'll want between 1/8-1/4" of toe in. To find this, find a common point of reference on your tire tread before you start on each tire and have your buddy help you hold the dumb end of the tape measure so you can get a measurement on the front, and at the rear of the tires using the hub centerline as a reference point both ways. Ideally your front measurement is 1/8-1/4" less than the rear. Each time you make adjustments, roll the truck backward and forward a few feet before you take another measurement so the wheels right themselves.
Be sure to retighten the lock nuts when you get it where you want it.
