81 LWB uneven in the back
I am going to buy an 81 LWB this weekend from a buddy of mine and noticed that the truck is uneven in height at the back of the truck. Both tires are aired up. What could be causing this, weakened leaf spring?

Probally a broken leaf. My GMC used to sit about 2" lower on the left than the right becuase of that

Re: 81 LWB uneven in the back
If its just a slight difference it could be from the gas tank. All the years of hauling around 20 gals of gas on one side makes that side sit a little lower.

Could also be that the bed supports are rusted away and letting it drop down on one side.
