This is the one I removed. It was in pretty rough shape

Any chance you have any hub cap screws?I’ve got a fair bit of 94 parts laying around if you need some.
I need them out of my way.
It’s such a cheap and awesome mod to do. Putting one in my BII build as well.Snagged a auto-dimming mirror with compass and temp from a 99 Tahoe today. Looks pretty good. Larger than the OEM rearview as well, nice for these old eyes

Teaching my oldest son to drive so I'm in the passenger seat.
Also found a B4000, want to say it was a 98. It had one of the hub caps still on it and I found 3 hub cap screws so that was a good find as well.
If i could go back in time, i would have coughed up the $5 to get new adjustment sleeves as well, took at least 30 minutes to just clean the old ones up to be able to reuse them... oh well, you live and you learn.
I'll check toe tomorrow. I want to get it aligned but I believe the ball joints need to be replaced still first.Your camber is off because your toe is off from changing the tie rod ends... highly recommend either taking it in for an alignment or putting the front tires on two or more layers of cardboard and bouncing the front bumper a couple times to even it out, measure the back side of the wheels at the bottom of the radius arms (right at the bead) with a tape measure then do the same at about the same height on the front side of the rim, you want 1/16" to 1/8" of toe in so shorter in front a touch...
I'll get the toe good before anything else. I've done a tape measure alignment before without issues. Maybe it will be good enough. Alignments near me are minimum $150. Better than burning up $400+ in tires, but I keep an eye on the wear anyway.Adjust the toe before you even think about looking at camber, and if you're going to limp it along for a bit before you do or check the balljoints go for a tape measure alignment, I've done nothing but tape measure and eyeball alignments on TTB and TIB suspensions for the last 15 years and I've had pretty even tire wear assuming things didn't migrate on me...
