I had the dreaded lean in my 64 too but I always blamed it on an optical illusion from the slanted driveway. Finally came out of fantasy land and used spring spacers and leveled it out

Your front springs play a large roll in a cars lean. Jack up the opposite corner and see.

My 64 leaned, did a lot of searching on the dreaded lean. Seamed like everything could be replaced and adjusted, then re-adjusted, and there was no guarantee the lean would be fixed. My car came with air shocks, I ended up buying a airline kit so I could run separate lines to each shock. Then adjust the air pressure to level out the car. Cheep and easy fix, may not be the right or best way but it worked for me.
