DlarsonI thought that would get our attention!
My 1951 daily night cruiser (I drive it when I get home every day) is leaning to the passenger side one half inch. I'm measuring from the bed on each side to the cab. It doesn't seem to be a bent frame, do you think new bushings on each side will fix it? I'm kind of confused. I can push the cab into the right position but it just goes right back. Maybe I can tigthen some bolts.

yep, sounds like bushings or cab mounts. Should consider replacing both sides so the are even. I just did the same on my front suports (by the radiator) to even up my front fenders on my '59... WORLD of difference.

I'm working on a 56 frame right now. The cab mount brackets are cracked near the top of the bracket. Putting in new bushings will not fix my condition. The bracket will need to be releveled and welded.
Perhaps you have the same type of problem.
