Camber or tow in?

Looking at the front of the truck:


Looking from the top:


If the camber is bad, jack one wheel up, and push back and forth on the top of the tire, as in push the top of the tire in then pull it out while its off the ground. If it has play, the balljoints are bad.
If the toe in is actually wrong, he needs an alignment. You can do it yourself but its pretty hard.
