Exclamation alignment question.

Hello gentlemen,
I have a question on alignment of my 65 gmc. It has a pull to the right, which makes it handy when going around right hand bends other than that, it's a consistent left hand, elbow out the window cruising position. My question is what's the process of getting that straightened out. It's slightly lowered but the kicker is it has 285/50/20's on it. Your knowledge would be greatly appreciated by me and my left arm.

Thank you for your time guys.

Re: alignment question.

First step is to make sure all the suspension components in the truck front and rear are in good shape. Second is a trip to a good alignment shop.

Re: alignment question.

Stock for 63-66
Camber(Curb) +0deg15'
Caster (Curb) +2Deg27'
Toe-in 3/16" total

Make sure the tire is not worn to one side as well. Try a tire rotation to see if it changes anything first.
