Your camber on #1 (steer) axle is higher or more positive on the right than the left. You need the exact opposite. This will cause your pull and also uneven tire wear. Your camber should be higher (more positive) on the left than the right to compensate for road crown.

Are your wheel bearings tight? The measurements change each time you move the truck if the bearings are loose. They might not have an accurate alignment machine. Your truck doesn't give a crap if their paper says the alignment is perfect. If it's pulling the alignment is wrong. With radial tires camber usually isn't real fussy, you have to bend the axle to change it. How are the tires wearing? If both front tires are wearing on the right side the problem is in the drives. If only one front tire is wearing funny the drives are off and the toe in is wrong.
