I just picked up a 97Ltd, I was pulling a left into my driveway and the driverside wheel rubbed against the wheel well, so to make a long story short I measured both sides and sure enough the driver side is a bout an inch closer than the passenger side to the back of the wheel well. I went over the truck and everything appears to be straight, no crumple marks on the frame or other dented body pannels, no visable sighns of a accident. So my question is can I adjust it to get it back to normal or should I bring it in to an allighnment place.

Standard size tyres on both wheels? Does it drive ok and track true? Tyre wear consistent? Did you pull a wheel and sneak a peak.
Have the wheel alignment checked out.

It does pulls to the left, the tires are the same size all around. I did pull the wheels off and everything appears ok. Someone had mentioned that I could probably adjust it back and forth by cranking the torsion bars, but I dont see any torsion bars on this truck.

No torsion bars on a 3rd gen, they have coilover shocks on the front. If you can't see any obvious reason take it to an alignement shop.
Mine is the same way, my left side tires rubs a little bit when turing at flex but the right never does. Mine drives pretty stright and i had the alignment done so i figure that it is normal, i have heard of other people with the same thing.

Well, you shouldn't be rubbing regardless with stock tires. Take to an alignment shop and see what they say. I would recommend going to a front end only shop which deals with alignments only, not a tire shop who happens to do alignments as well. The front end shop guys will be MUCH more knowledgeable.
