Reset Bed?
I was in a wreck about a year ago. It bent the frame a small amount but I have had it professionally bent back to specs but the bed is offset about a 1/2 to the right. My buddy and I discussed taking it off and looking for bent bolts or whatever else holds the bed into place. Is this worth the time or should I be looking more at the bed/frame?

When they did the frame repair they would have unbolted the box if not completely removed it. It's possible that when they bolted it back down they didn't line it up properly. I would try unbolting the box and seeing if you can align it better. You wouldn't need to remove it, just unbolt and push it where it needs to be. I don't know what year your truck is but I know the new ones are bolted from the top. They are also different lengths. If I recall correctly you'll need a T-55 socket for the new trucks. Hope that helps.
