My 58 3200 is all stock as far as I can tell. Just sitting there, the truck lists a little to the driver's side. The fenders on the driver's side are about an inch or so lower compared to the tires. I know the springs are old. Is there something to do short of replacing the springs?

fairly common problem due to trucks spending their whole lives with only a driver in the cab, sometimes an overweight one grin

talk to a spring shop, you can have the springs on that side re-arched, which of course may result in the other side being a bit low!

They can be rearched 1" or 1 1/2" or any other height you want. You can do this yourself if you choose, lots of information on the net on how it's done. I paid a spring shop to rearch a set awhile back and asked if I could watch them do it, I was surprised they let me walk back into the shop area. It wasn't exactly rocket science, they drew an outline of each spring with chalk on the floor then they laid the spring between 2 anvils and proceded to whack away at it with a sledge until it took the shape they wanted!
