*Front End Pulling To Right*

My 37 pickup is now pulling a little to the right thanks to the bad roads here in southern IN. My question is can I loosen both tie Rod ends and rotate the tie Rod to make a slight adjustment.

Is it pulling or the steering wheels off? Pulling low tire or alignment issues, moving tie rods moves the steering wheel position.

It's pulling just a little to the right. Steering wheel is straight and tire pressure is 30 psi on both. It was fine two months ago.

Yes, you can adjust your toe-in with the drag link. It looks like your truck has the stock 37-40 drag link. In order to adjust it you have to take one end out of either the passenger side spindle arm or the steering box arm. The 41 drag link is the same width but with the ability to adjust it without disassembling your steering.

Gotya. So by adjusting the drag link just a little to move both front tires to the left just a little should get me back on track. I'll give it a shot.
