My '77 is the same. The body also leans heavily to the driver's side,
and a bit to the back (i.e. driver's side rear quarter is the lowest
part of the car; passenger side front quarter is highest). The rear
spring feels completely dead on the driver's side, and therefore I am
having this replaced next week. A lot of people have told me that the
lean is only partly explained by a duff rear spring, and that a bent
anti-roll bar at the front is probably the primary cause. This is
supported by the fact that when she is parked on a flat surface with the
driver's side front wheel on a ramp, magically she sits level (and the
back wheels are both just slightly off the vertical).
