cab mounts
Got another Q. My bed and cab don't really line up that well, the back of the cab looks like it is lower than everyting else. Does this mean i need new cab mounts or is there something else wrong?

If your truck is like most, your cab mount brackets are probably rusted. This allows the cab mounts to sag, thus causing misaligned body lines. The rubber cab mounts will compress a bit over time, but if you're looking at a serious misalignment, check for the rust.
