Side tracking

[Silver Square]

My truck is side tracking. The back end looks like it's offset to the right while the truck is driving. I attached a pic, but it doesn't really show it too well. My friend had a similar problem with his '74, and it was either swapping the rear leaf springs left to right, or swapping one of them front to back, but he can't remember what it was that fixed it. Anyone know? Thanks.

There is no set fix,you need to find out what is wrong so you can correct it. First checks would be spring bushings,and axle mounting, take the ubolts off and see if the axle is locating on the spring correctly.

Thanks, I'll check those things out next weekend.

2wd or 4wd?

The 4wd front axle is wider than the rear.

If its got the 56" leaf springs the leaf spring pin isn't in the center on them. If its gets flipped around it'll shift that side forward. Looks like it'd be hell getting put in that way but who knows.
The long side goes to the back.
