Truck leans to the drivers side
Its always done it..But its gotten worse. thought it might of been the cab mounts but I measured off the frame to the ground and I have 8 1/2" inches on the passenger side and 8" on the drives. Maybe the shocks/springs are just worn out?( same lean amount front to back)

Re: Truck leans to the drivers side
Funny you brought this up as i was riding down the road this week and pulled up behind a lwb 68 at a light and was thinking on how it seems most all of our trucks that have the original suspension lean to the left.
I think that 99.9% there was only the driver in them and as spring will settle over time, there was more weight on drivers side to compress the left side springs, thus the lean. I have new springs under mine and no lean.

Re: Truck leans to the drivers side
I just bought a 72 C20 and it also has a lean. It kinda reminds me of a Super Stock mopar.

Re: Truck leans to the drivers side
A lot of these trucks will "lean" over time. Its usually on the driver side also. My 72 Cheyenne was the same way. It's just 40 year old suspension parts that cause it. Replace the springs and shocks, or as WES said, "embrace it". Joseph
