The Ford Barn

Front tires scrubbing on outside edge. Measuring front & back of tires, toe in of 9/16" found. How does this relate to degrees? I've read conflicting suggestions about whether toe in or toe out is better for handling on straight axle Fords, always discussed in degrees. I don't know of a shop that still does front end work on "old" straight axle Fords, so I'm trying adjust the front end myself. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rod
