for positive camber,the lower control arms would have to be bent.Bent uppers usualy cause neg camber.Is the ride height the same?If the front is higher for some reason, that will camber top out.I have seen saged K-frames,but that usually ends up with neg camber also.If it looks and feels that bad,check for tire wear.If it was driven for a while,there should be evidence of outside tire wear,from the truck up the driveway should not show anything,but if joy-riding,tire wear will be there.Hope there is a simple explanation.

I'd like to see those before and after pics. I really just would like to see more of your car. Nice Ride. The camber issue just don't make sense unless you find evidence of joy riding. Bent rim or grass hanging underneath, or some other factor.

Did you follow the haul from beginning to end or keep the keys in your pocket? Possible the car was taken for a joy ride since it doesn't sound like it would take too much to off load and reload?

are you sure your upper control arms didn't loosen up?

If the controll arms loosened up, they would fall in. You didn't happen to lower your torsion bars lately did ya?

I would look at the strut rods or the LCA's. I bet the car had "J" looking hooks that the driver put through the strut rods or around the LCA's in the front that you didn't see.Something got bent up there. I doubt they transported the car 1500 miles with just the back tied down. The car would be into the side of the trailer if they did.
