I owned a truck shop an we would be able to center the wheel with a toe in adjustment.
Grab a tape measure and a friend.
Aim the tires as straight as possible by eye
Measure the distance across the front of the front tires being as accurate as possible
Now measure across from one front tire to the other behind the tires from the exact same position on the tires as use did with the front
In other words you want the same position both in front and behind the front tires for your measurement
For most toe in adjustments you want about 1/4 to 3/8 toe in, in others words the front tires should point in very slightly as you look from the front
If they do not measure close to this you can loosen the tie rod adjustment sleeve and move turn the adjusters on both sides until you have the toe in measurement needed.
Most times this with straighten the wheel if the toe in is off
Go slow with the adjustments and measure after each turn of the sleeve
Any questions let me know

Well, yes, but you must knock one of the tie-rods loose to get the wheel straight ahead, then adjust toe-in. The F-53 has one rod between the wheels.
