Re: 68 Bed question

The cab bushings appear to be new. The driver side has had a cab corner replaced but the door seems to line up pretty nice with the fender and cab corner.

The cab is just a touch lower than the bed on the driver side. Passenger side appears to be pretty good right now but Im afraid if I shim the left side it will affect the right as well

I have some bed "mounting pads" that came from Woodall. The are rubber and about 1/8" thick. I haven't put them under the bed yet

The gap seems to be consistent top and bottom. And it looks like I have put the bolts in backwards...that's not going to be a very pretty fix

Re: 68 Bed question

You need carriage type bolts to drop in from the top. Is this truck a truck something other than 1/2 ton 2wd? There are different type bushings for heavier trucks but with one side lining up the bushing is what I call a mute [not moot]point means it doesn't matter so don't talk about it. You can line up the one side and shim it up right and it shouldn't throw off the other side that is already lined up. Put you a level on the front panel and then the tailgate that will answer your questions about the side to side thing. Shim up the one side that is off and let 'er roll. Jim
