Tires leaning outward

I was looking at my truck from a dinstance and I noticed that the front tires are leaning out a bit. Is this normal? Or do I just need a alignment?

Thanks

i suppose your talkin about the front tires. and they shouldnt be leaning outward that means theres too much camber one way or the other. are your tires wearing quick on the outside or anything like that? if the tires are wearing abnormally i would align it

Front tires is correct. Sorry about that. Yes I do have some uneven tire wire. Was like that from the previous owner. The alignment is on the list of things to be done.
Thanks

Put it at the top of your list !! An out of alignment problem can chew up good tires fast, and money along with it...
My 70 is Still sitting because of alignment after I lowered it last year.. I have a trailer, I just need to make the time to haul it to a front end shop..
