4X4 Front axle alignment??

I just R&R the front differential in my 66 F-100 4X4 and have the coil springs, radius arms, and track bar hooked up, but it looks a little off, so i measured the distance from the frame rail to the center of the steering knuckle and the drivers side is 1 inch farther to the outside than the right side. Is the correct? Any ideas? I thought the track arm would automaticly line it up lateraily when I got it hooked up, but the different measurements have me stumped. Any help would be great.

Thanks...Eric

Maybe the track arm was installed backwards???

Does the truck have a lift kit?

Was track bar bracket replaced?
