My 1966 c10 stepside is noticably lower on the passenger side when viewed from the front. Is this common on this year and this series pickup?

I haven't notice the view from the back. I'll check that later. My initial belief is that the back is straight.

What is most likely the cause? Springs? Shocks? Frame? Bushings?
 
Sounds like you have a weak spring. Shocks don't control the ride height
Wouldn't be the frame unless it's been wrecked It could be a cab mount but I would try the spring first

Thanks Rick!

That's kinda what I was leaning towards - the springs. The front cab mount is slightly "squished" on that side but the other three are okay. Even then a dead cab mount wouldn't justify a 4 inch drop from one side to the other.

Is replacing a spring something that a novice (with proper tools) could do or is it best left to the pros?
 
Well I have changed them before. There not hard just nerve racking I would let a pro do it. We can get you the springs just give us a call
