hey guys my name is bean im from las vegas nv. i just picked up a 1986 nissan 720 king cab. this is my second 720 ive owned my first was also an 86 but it was a standard cab. i drove that little truck into the ground! it was my first car so you know what happens to first cars. anyways i have a few question about my new 720. ill try to attach some pics of the truck and what im talking about. the tire on the passenger side front dosent sit flat on the tire tread it is off like the camber might be off or the ball joints might need replacing. tell me what you think and what a possible reason and fix would be. it like that on both side but the passenger side is worse. thanks

Yes you do have some camber going on there. Have you put the front up on a jack and checked for loose parts? Your ball joints could be tired. What have you checked so far?

I agree.
Worn parts or an alignment is needed.
