On my 91 burb I noticed that the left front wheel tire looks like it sits farther into the wheel well. Then I noticed that the bumber appears to sit farther to one side also.

I did some measuring and it looks like the body (at the front clip anyway) sits 3/4" farther to the left. Is there enough play in the body mount bushings for this to be corrected?
 
You can loosen the front bolts under the radiator and give it a shove, obviously be careful or you will crinkle the fender.
 
If your bushings are worn or loose the body can move. I'd loosen all the front 4 bushings and try to push the body over and see if it moves.
 
Ended up getting it to move over to within a 1/4" of being centered. Loosened up 6 body mount bolts, and pretty much every bolt attached to the front clip.

On mine it could move a inch either way when I was doing new bushings. Glad you got it. Probly won't notice the 1/4 inch as much as it was.
