Passenger side leaning

I had the same problem when I finally put my 76B on the ground and drove it a bit.  The left rear corner was about 3/4" low.  I had completely rebuilt the original springs, reached all leaves a bit and fabricated pucks for the dimples and even anti squeak pads.  The springs had the same arch when installed.  I pulled the spring assy. and put a little more arch in all the leaves, fine now.  I don't believe all springs have exactly the same tension and therefore do need tweeking for exact ride heighth.  I have seen many brand new cars in days of yore that had major leans.  Good luck.
