In order to tip the fan up one inch, I'd bet that the trans mount (if it is at the tail shaft housing) would have to be moved up about 4"-6". If it had bell housing mounts, maybe 2". Something is amiss in there- or it could just be the viewing angle. Checking to see if the carburetor base is level when the truck is on level ground is a good call, assuming that strange things haven't been done to the suspension. Pics of all engine and trans mounts would be helpful. It being 50+ years old doesn't help. Who knows what was done to it? Post enough pics, and someone will say, "Aha!", and you'll have your answer. Where is the fan inside the shroud, top to bottom? Is it high in the shroud? I can't really tell. It makes me think that the 6 cyl mounts are being used, which can make a V-8 high up, IIRC.
