Third, inspect the rubber body mounts as well as the tabs for them on the frame. Again, deteriorated rubber or rusted mounts can cause a sag. Finally, have you verified the problem is with the frame, or the body? With the tires properly inflated, park on a flat, level surface. Carefully measure from the ground to the underside of the frame rails at a number of reference points. Compare the two sides. If the frame is parallel to the ground, the problem is the body.

Oh, and you DID remove the 455 block from the trunk, didn't you...
Some great advice Joe... definitely things I'll be looking at. Thanks!

And oddly enough, while not a 455 block in the trunk, that was where I had my tools. I removed them and it did seem to help a bit. Next experiment will be to see if it levels it if I put them on the right rear.
