When I bought my 31 pickup I did notice that the front axle was bent a little bit on the drivers side. And there was a dent in the front fender. Somebody had hit something. During disassembly I found out why this truck was parked back then. The flywheel housing was broken and there was a large chunk missing in the area of the starter. The wishbone was shoved back on an angle from the drivers side and the ball socket took the majority of the impact. Goes to show that the flywheel housing does more than hold the engine in place.
