Yep, it can be done, any good manual should have the proceedure. You're going to need some specialized tools to do it, it's almost worth it to take it to a good front end or tire shop you trust. If I remember correctly (I had a '67 till it burned to the ground) the ball joints are eccentric and as you turn them they move the spindle, I think that's how the caster and camber are adjusted.
Good luck, '67's are the best bug ever made!

If you look at the upper ball joint(s), you'll see a hex head surrounding the stud where it goes into the spindle arm. That fitting has an off-set hole, so that when you turn it, it adjusts the camber.
