That horseshoe-shaped steering arm between the front of the drag link and the left spindle could be bent. Lots of potholes and other road hazards over the past 60+ years can do unseen damage to steering system components. There's a checking procedure for finding bent linkage that involves checking the geometry between the center of the rear axle and the pivot point of the kingpins that's a bit too complicated to describe in a forum post. Very few alignment shops, and even fewer vehicle owners these days have a good understanding of the physics of a straight axle steering/suspension system. Jerry
