So since I've had my '71 F-100, the bed seems to lean to the right/passenger's side. I've been told it's likely the cab that's leaning left, that the cab mount bushings are likely collapsed, causing the cab to lean to the left/driver's side, but I have serious doubts about that. Looking at the truck, it looks as if the cab is level, but the bed seems tilty. I took a tape measure to the front fenders to measure the distance from the bottoms of the fenders to the ground when the truck was on pavement, but it seemed level. Anybody else had this happen with the bed?

 

Have you looked at the rear springs and shackles? I've had rear shackles rust off before and the spring touching the bed.

 

I had a weak front passenger leaf spring that was really noticeable when, I had my c/o camper loaded on the back. Thiers many possibilities for the sagging to one side..

The cab front cushions, front cab mounts, rear cab cushions or rusted out rear cab cross member which most of the time can all be found up on closer inspection.

Mine does the exact same thing. Not sure why. Always just chocked it up to a sagging leaf spring.

 

Mine does that and it has a sagging leaf spring. Truck is rust free. Don't know if the cab mount bushings are collapsed but, based on the driver's door to front quarter panel fit, I suspect they are.

 

My buddy's did the same and he put a 1" block on the right side only. Sets correct now.

 

Mine does that also. But my bed floor is tweaked just a bit. I've figured someone in my truck's past loaded too much, too heavy, too fast on the right side of my bed. Mainly towards the back. The tweak in my floor shows the R/R corner of the bed was forced down farther than what the floor wants.

 

I took measurements yesterday. Evidently, my truck leans starboard (right) about 1/4" front and rear. So it's even But for some reason, it does look odd.

 

Put an air shock on that side. Hahahaha
