That's what is printed in the repair manuals, and you hope you get close, but you also need to look at it after you are done to make sure, especially with a questionable country-of-origin on today's parts. About a week ago, I finished a complete front end rebuild on my kid's RWD Thunderbird. Complete, as in upper and lower control arms w/ball joints, links, tie rods, the whole works. For the tie rods, the left side was 30 turns, the right side was 31, exactly as what I took off. When I was ready to drive to the alignment shop (30 minutes away), I could see it had a really bad toe out and as I drove the gravel road to to the highway, I almost couldn't keep it on the road.

For the OP's old chevy truck, I would at least have them set the toe in/toe out.
