Default 4 link adjustment

I have an old C-10 that is tubbed and has a 4 link. It was set by the chassis guy just as a rolling chassis, before the whole truck was finished. I want to start getting this thing to the track and want to know what i need to set this thing up.
I know it will be a long process but if there is any info or websites, or even books that would help me to get a starting point that would be great.
Thanks
Josh

Jerry Bickel race cars has a book and a computer program for the 4 link.

You can measure by hand, it just takes more time to plot out, but it won't give you all the anti squat and other changes the computer program figures for you. I picked up .1 in the 60ft from a 4 link adjustment on the first pass after I changed it using the first best guess from a buddy using one of those programs.
