I am new to working on trucks/cars so any advise is welcome. I found this truck in California and got it back to SC a few months ago. The first thing I did is rebuild the drum breaks. Breaks work great now, but when I put the truck back down it had a big lean to the passenger side. The only thing I can think is maybe there was a block are some kind of spacer in the front passenger spring I didn't notice that fell out when I jacked it up? I have noticed that the lower cup that the spring sits in does not have a shim/spacer under it like the driver side. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Re: big time lean
Drive it around the block and see if it still leans. Could be the I-beam suspension in the front just needing to reset.

Re: big time lean
That is probably correct for shims, I think it compensates for the added weight on the drivers side. Check the ride height after driving it around the block.
