Default Positive camber... just remove the shims?

It seems that after installing disc brakes on the front of my 1965 1000, I have some positive camber. After only about 10,000 miles, I have destroyed the outside of my 255/60R15 BF Goodrich Radial TAs.

I’m bringing the truck into Les Schwab on Monday for new tires (255/70R15 Cooper Cobra Radial GTs), and am curious if they will be able to fix the positive camber without needing any new parts. Will it be as simple as removing the original shims? I’m going to replace the tie rods tomorrow morning (might as well do it now... most of the boots are cracked/missing).

Thoughts?
