Cab, bed or both? Is this a pickup or C&C?

Look closer. The bed's probably fine, and the cab is leaning the opposite way. This would indicate worn/collapsed cab mounts.

My lean was caused by rotten spring hangers on the rear. The bed sheet metal was actually supporting all of the weight on the rear of my truck.

I saw a gold plated CC dually not to long ago for sale that had the rear hangar and spring through the bed, the owner insists it isn't very rusty and will be easy to fix!

-Enjoy

my old f250 had a very noticeable lean on the bed because PO put an extra leaf on one side to make it so the slide in camper was level. it had a heavy water tank on one side. check the number of leafs each side.

agreed. that is an interesting outcome.
all the trucks i have ever seen with added leaves in the spring packs had both sided done equally, never with more on one side than the other.
