It all looks right, but something is bent or out of place somewhere. Is the frame sitting on stands, or on tires? I know it sounds minute, but it can maks a big difference if the frame is on stands vs. on the tires. In that, I mean it should be mounted on stands by the frame, not the axle. Let the rears hang, and level the frame. This gives a more acurrate account of the trueness of the frame. You would be amazed at what will fall into place by doing it this way. You would also be surprized at what is out of place when doing it this way. I would bet that something in the frame is bent. Examine the front springs and the way they hang when off the ground. Look for both sides being the same. I bet they aren't. Look real close at the front cross member as well. It doesn't take much, but they are usually out of place even the slightest bit, and it can knock things out of proportion. I've only seen one that was actually dead on, that is on the current project. Let me know what you find.....chris
