Just picked up an 87 f150 for $1500. Only problem I've ran into so far with the truck is that the cab isn't aligned with the bed. All of the suspension components seem to be even between the two sides. Anyone have any ideas on what else to look for?

Thanks in advance,
-Tom

EDIT: Bought this for a hunting/cabin truck so it won't be seeing any roads

 

Have a look for rusted out or collapsed cab/bed mounts but (based on the limited amount of info from what I see in the pics) that looks like frame damage to me....

Thanks, there is a great deal of rust on the suspension components so that very well could be it.

 

Sorry to say, but nothing in the suspension is going to cause that type of misalignment.

Now, rotted out cab or bed is a different story....

 

First impression - frame's bent.
If that's the case, at least it looks like you wouldn't have too much trouble pulling 1500 worth of parts off it, so not a dead loss.
But something very bad is going on under that truck.
Don't suppose you could get your money back ??
If that truck was represented to you as being in any way roadworthy, you got ripped off big-time.

 

Got up early and checked both frame and mounts, mounts are pretty rotted out and frame is straight. Thanks to all

 

Just for a hunting truck slide some 2x4's or such under the box and bolt her back down. Good for another 10 years.
