These two are beautiful! But is it just my eyes or is the 51 twisted a bit. It looks like the roof is a couple of inches lower on the passenger side.

Not just your eyes I thought the same thing along with the driver fender looked droopy. It looks like there is a small offset tractor loaded up on the back it maybe twisted due to that

They are super nice. I love the one on the left and the 51 does look twisted

In this shot for sure it looks like the frame has a nasty twist and a diamond in it. Nothing that can't be fixed, and the above shot doesn't show it as bad. I don't believe that little tractor has anything to do with it, though.

I still think it might be the setting on the camera. The left tire on the truck on the right looks like it's way forward compared to the right tire..

I see that now. I'm not sure how the camera would do that, but it seems more plausible.
the 51 is a flatbed dually! I love it even more now.

I'm not a photographer but think a wide angle lens or just the wrong setting could distort the image..

I get the distinct impression the tonner was photoshopped in. The bottom of the right front tire looks too rounded to be sitting on the concrete floor. My guess is the other truck was skewed during editing.
