Here’s the printout from the alignment shop. Yes, with a modified suspension some tweaks are in order. There’s a guy on the west side of town that does a lot of street rod suspensions as well as lowered vehicles. I’ll give him a shout.

3 degrees positive caster from a stock type suspension is pretty hard to get, let alone from a lowered truck. Your numbers don't look bad and from what you describe I would suspect something more like a tire problem. Can you swap some wheels and tires from a known good driver?

I have the front end up and plan to check the front wheel bearings and swap tires. I pretty much ruled out an out of round wheel in that when they were balanced a wheel is sure would of showed up.

Yeah a wheel would have showed up but may still balance OK. Maybe the guy operating the balancer didn't give [censored]. A broken belt in a tire may not have shown up or refer back to the original guy running the balancer. I seriously doubt that since your issue only manifests at a certain speed ( and a low speed at that) and then clears up that you have an alignment issue.

Ok, earlier in the week I cut out the angle iron that someone welded to the frame connecting to the core support. Then installed the steering box bracket. Took it out for a drive around side streets the the freeway. Wobble I’d gone. I will pursue adding a little more camber or castor. Also, the going to do some boxing in The vicinity of the box.
