I can get just the front wheel alignment for like $35, but we bought the truck 2nd hand back in August, and I have slowly been maintaining it so I have a new routine schedule to stick to so I know it's been done.
l've had the A/C fixed (simple shim removal and cleaning rust off of it,thanks to this forum), Window Fixed (new motor), new back/front brakes (wheel cylinder busted, replaced out both sides and new brakes on both sides), new wheel cylinders, flushed the radiator, rotated tires, gave it a complete tune up, changed oil, fixed a leak in the back window (3rd brake light was the cause, again thanks to this forum and searching I found the culprit), etc, getting minor things that were wrong with it taken care of, and since I don't know if it had an alignment, i'm gonna have a full alignment done on the truck, front and back (if needed).
This is my first truck lol, so I paid like $1500 for it, and nothing real major except the ball joints and a wheel cylinder have been wrong with it. Engine seems to of been well kept.
I have probably put at least another $2000 into it mostly cosmetic lol, like new stereo system, and decked out all interior lights and license plate lights with LED lights.
Also bought it with a broken tail light which was replaced, and one new, one old headlight, which was also quickly replaced lol.
This is my baby >.<, tho the harsh seasons and salt on the roads have sadly started to rust her near the bottom of my doors lol.

Someone correct me if im wrong, but theres no point in paying for a full alignment, seeing as how its rear leafs and a solid axle so theres nothing to adjust. Just get the front alignment. Save ya a few bucks.

Yes.
No adjustment for Rear Alignment.
If they said they did one they're lying.
Anyways, you shouldn't NEED a front alignment. Ball joints sit in one spot.
They do not affect alignment.
Unless they're worn right out and your wheel is flopping around.
But you wouldn't be driving it like that.
Yes you can get adjustment shims and such but now I'll confuse some people so forget about that.
