Back to the Chevy torsion bars.
Your discussion got me curious, so I dug out the Chevy factory manual.
Seems there is a specification for adjusting the bars under Front End alignment.
Turn the adjusting nut until the "Z" height measurement (defined in the manual as the height from the centerline of the front lower control arm bolt to the lower inboard corner of the lower ball joint) is at specified height.

If the body is still crooked after adjusting the "Z" height, then the problem is elsewhere than the torsion bar adjustment. Seems fairly straightforward.
