it only took a few minutes under the truck to realise what kind of a joker the previous owner was with any repairs or mods hed done - but this new discovery takes the prize.

for some inexplicable reason the two spring perch plates welded to the rear axle are ....not equi distant from the center-line of the axle/truck. so my rear wheels are off center sticking out too much on one side and too little on other....

they are shifted to one side by 2 inches.....weird.

who/why would someone do that?

My guess is an unfortunate blend of alcohol and an arc welder.

Maybe he only had one wheel spacer?
Seriously though, that just seems outright . . . . . (you fill in the blank).
