Default Ackerman steering

This is a reach out for advice on steering geometry for my '32 p/u. When
I installed the dropped axle I heated & bent the steering arms for tie rod
clearance and messed up the geometry. It is evident by observation that while negotiating a turn the
'inside' wheel is not angled sharper than the 'outside' wheel. With a bare
chassis it would be relatively easy to reconfigure the arms to achieve the
Ackerman principle. Any way to do this with the body on ??
Many thanks,
Charlie ny
