Weird Wheel Allignment

I have a 84 F150 XL 4x4 302 4speed OD standard cab long box. The guy I bought it from had a 2" lift put in it but he never had the front drop brackets put on it. Now I got it with 31/10.5x15 but i put 32/11.5x15 and when i put those tires on i noticed that the drive side front tire stuck out about an inch father then the passenger side(almost looks like someone put a wheel spacer only of the driver side). All the other tires line up good. I tried swapping with one of the back ones to see if it was the rim offset but I came up with the same thing. The whole front end is new and in good shape.

Anybody have any ideas whats going on??

It's probably been in an accident before, and the frame is a little out of square.

Sure sounds like it to me. I don't know if Ford had different track widths but that might also be something to look at if it still has the TTB front axle.
