Re: '60 C10 rear axle off center

Once you get everything back on the truck, the load combined with the length of the tracking bar will push the axle back towards the passenger side. But the axle pinion will most likely still be offset from center as it was designed that way. What you want is the wheels to be the same distance side to side. But there will always be some side to side movement as you drive over bumps, or loaded and unloaded.
The longer the tracking bar, the less side to side movement. If after you get everything together and your ride height set, and then you see an obvious side to side difference, then you could buy an adjustable tracking bar.
