Haha...the classic Chevy "lean." Oh wait--the gap between the bed and cab is getting smaller up top? Or is the gap getting bigger?
I have had several OBS trucks and it had the passenger side "lean." I found out the best way to get rid of it is to go get new rear leaf springs--or go have the existing ones rebent.

I dont know if he is talking about the chevy lean. I think he is referring to when it looks like the middle on the passanger side is buckling in.

yeah the chevy lean.... theres no way to get rid of it?? well that sucks the truck itself has roughly 150k on the body. its a 98... this is the best i can find. its only on this side too.. its not bad but id rather it not get worse... any suggestions?

i duno i just have my days where im like damn... i love my obs truck but im frigen in love with the nbs classic chevys... theres a guy who lives about 2 miles from me. hes got a SBRC 99-02 chevy that i know is a v8 not sure what and is the same color as davids. the thing hasnt moved since last winter... not even all summer. just sits there... he lives in a trailor and his garage colapsed last winter. the truck was outside burried under 6 feet of snow all winter never even brushed it off... i have days where i just want to walk up to his door and ask him how much for it... my only problem is im in love with manual trannys and duno if i could deal with an auto... im just assuming the truck is an auto. as 4.8 5speeds are rare... the front ends can easily be changed to the 03-08 classic if im not mistaken. the truck is already lowered probably a 4/6 and is on GM 20" wheels. its a really clean truck. i jsut have so much time and $$ tied up in mine i dont know if i could start over but the NSB trucks are just so temping. just one of those days i guess... it sucks in maine too because a 2wd SBRC anything is a miracle from god... you go to texas and they pretty much are EVERYWHERES. and WAY cheaper...

Looks like the frame is tweaked, like maybe it carried too heavy of a load near the cab, in the bed. The body lines look like they line up. Take it to a frame shop and have them set the frame back to factory specs.
