Road Walker
I bought my dream, a 1970 3/4 Chevy just like Daddy hauled cattle and hay with while I stood in the middle of the tooled-leather look bench seat and provided much needed moral support. The one I finally found looked like a dragster. I’ve had the springs, tires, wheels, and shocks replaced in attempt to return it to 3/4 ton masculine workhorse status. I also had a spring spacer lift (2 1/2”) added to beef it up. After having the suspension modified, it walks all over the road. I know it needs new upper and lower ball joints. I had an allgnment done. Any suggestions as to why it’s walking the road so much? 16.5” to 16” and a 2 1/2” spring lift.

Re: Road Walker
welcome...if your upper/lower ball joints are shot they should never have attempted to align the front. ..get all the front end components in good shape...then get it aligned...loose steering parts will send you all over the road..check tires, air pressure. ..you could crawl under the front and get someome to turn the wheel lok2lok and look for abnormal joint movement

Re: Road Walker
You also need to find a different alignment shop. The one that did your alignment isn't reputable. If they were, they would have told you an alignment isn't possible with the worn components.
