How even are the gaps where the front bumper wraps back around the fenders? Was this truck ever in a collision (bent frame)?

Somebody chime in if I am wrong...
but couldn't you loosen all of the bolts holding the cab and clip and slide it over a bit, centering it on the wheelbase, and then tighten the body back down to the frame? That's assuming that it's not a suspension or alignment problem.

I bet just moving stuff around a bit might take care of it. How does it drive?

If the alignment was done by a reputable place and everything was done correctly, you need to start measuring the body alignment to the frame.  Looks like your gaps are off and the front may be shifted.  Is the cab centered?
