How were the A bodies put together down the assembly line?

If you are talking about the welds coming apart from the shock tower to the inner fender. That is common.

If it's still welded, the shock hole is not centered in the inner fender hole in somewhat common. It just places the upper shock location. Not critical to alignment geometry.
Thank you!
I just confirmed the spot welds at the inner fender are in line with the shock towers. It’s WAY off center.
Looks to me like this was indeed done on the assembly line to clearance the drivers side upper shock mount. Interesting…
