Angled steering column

This might seem odd but the sterring column on my 70 F250 seems slightly angled to the left and is not paralle to the seat. So, it seems slightly off when driving. Is this normal? Everything seems to be bolted in right.

Angled steering column

Someone pointed this out to me on my 73 F250, and I looked at the bolts and column and it was all correct, but it still angled to the left a bit. You can move it a bit by unbolting it, move it then rebolt it, but I don't think mine was ever truely straight.

Yes, they are all like that. Would never have noticed it until someone mentioned it here after doing a column swap. They thought they did something wrong but that’s the way it is. Ignorance is bliss.
