Is there any chance you are capable or interested in a frame swap? Are you sure the truck is salvagable?

I think it is just not sure how bad it really is or what it actually not in line took it to a guy and he fixed the frame forks. Now im putting the bed together and the new floor is not bolting up right.

Is the floor you are using original metal or aftermarket? If aftermarket you can't use that to judge if the frame is out of square of not. You have to "X" measure it with the bed off.

If you had a capable frame man he should have checked your frame for squareness . Should have wanted to sell more work. Ask him if he checked it. Or go back and have him check it while you watch.
