Body alignment help please

Heres my problem. The pass front tire sits in 5/16" futher than the other tire. If I force the core support over it makes everthing out of square on the hood. The cab and core support are centered on the frame. Im measuring using a plumb bob off the fender to the center of the hub. Plus you can see that it is a little off. Just wondering I anybody has ran into this or has any ideas. I'm out of ideas. Thanks.

Well im gonna say that most if not all these old trucks would be off a little just like.you are talking about ? Now unless your truck has been hit and has a bent a arm ? Or something if the alignment is ok and it drives good I would not worry about it , im not even gonna say how far off the.front tires on my 67 camaro are LOL it drives perfect drove it 14 years now nobody has ever noticed it LOL

Thanks ontree. I was thinking That might be the case. I'll just by a 1/4" spacer and call it good. It does drive great.

Measure the engine compartment in an X patern, is this area really square? If not you need to make it squAre.Then you have nice place to start.

After 40x odd years these old work horses have been though a lot. They were not even that close when new. I say step away from the tape measure and don't look back.

Showed to be 3/16 off. Not bad. And to get it perfect squared would put me even more over the pass tire.

Thanks lee. I think I'll do that and grab a beer. Like I said I think I'll just get a spacer and be happy. Just wasn't sure if this was common.
