All of those can contribute, but since he just put it back on the road, alignment would be #1 on my list. All things being equal,
brakes (dragging, mis-adjusted, wheel cylinders etc.) need to be checked too.

I was going to suggest easy stuff first, like get your drums
turned and adjust your brakes. Murray is a whole different bus with the drums
turned.

ask pollux.
There's lots of things that can cause a
pull.
If it's under braking, check the brake components for proper
adjustment and wear problems.
If it's a disc brake front end make sure
nothing is dragging unnecessarily (stuck caliper).
If all of that is
working fine then tires/alignment would be next. Caster in an early bus
is not adjustable.
In a ball joint front end you can compensate only
slightly by the ball joint adjustment. Camber angle or toe-in
would
be my suspicion. Since you just got the bus back on the road
have you had it aligned?
If not, take it to a shop
now.
