Tire question

Well, as I was changing my glow plugs this afternoon, my brother came over and gave me a hand. Anyway, he told me a problem he is having with his 84 300D. It seems that the left rear wheel is eating the outer edge of his tires. He swapped out a good tire and after about 3000 miles, the outer edge is worn smooth. Sort of like when you have a bad front alignment, except this is on the rear. I looked at the tire and sure enough, the outer edge of the left rear is worn smooth. All of the other 3 tires look fine.

Is the rear alignment of the 300D adjustable?? If so, what needs to be adjusted? I was under the impression the rear is not adjustable, but I could very well wrong
