First thank you everyone for all your suggestions and safety concerns for my side to side difference in bogies. I lifted the rear with 2 floor jacks and 4 jack stand under double frame areas and chocks under front tires. There is absolutely no signs of corrosion at the bogie mount areas or anywhere. Put it back on the ground and checked with level in vertical on wheel center cap and they are about as close to plum as you can get with my driveway that is a little out of level for drainage. Found that the wheel well on the left is inset from the edge of frame and body about inch and a half still sealed up though at frame, but do need to seal it against the body. On the right the wheel well is flush with the edge of frame and all the way against the body on the outside. My guess is it has to be pushed out more because the lower part of the bath vanity below the sliding doors is against it. So my conclusion is the frame and bogies are ok. I checked for bogie wear and play like Alex Sirum told me and there is no play to be had. Again thanks for all the input especially the one about these were built in the 70's. I heard an old saying once "I don't remember the 70's but I've got the ticket stubs to prove I had fun"
