Re: sitting side ways

Glock, I'm glad there is someone here who knows alignments. I worked for Chevy for 33 years on our trucks a to z. I ran into this problem more times than I can count. Most of the time this problem was from something bent or centering bolts on the rear axel. Where I live\work it's mostly farming and farmers aren't known for making 2 trips when they can overload it into 1 trip if you get my drift. I used to do 3 different measurements before alignment. First was a frame check using a plumb off of 2 points up front and 2 points out back and then measure the diagional. Second was a wheelbase check and third a tire to frame check. More often than not the frame was tweeked and I fixed that just like you did by enlarging center bolt holes.
I see your a shooter too. I'm a Colt man myself. I am also a dealer and am into reloading. If you would like to talk about that my e-mail is jmcclur2@nycap.rr.com. Jim

Little stuff left to do is mount winch, wet sand & buff out and build belly pan\running boards. Body work takes lots and LOTS of beer!!!! God, Guts and Guns made America and God, Guts and Guns will preserve it! The worst thing you could do is get into my sights, but that don't matter, you'll never know it, cause you'll never hear the shotJim or Paladin whichever you choose.
