Bed alignment
Hey guys I have kind of a stupid question. I took the bed off of my 66 SB to have some, actually quite of bit of, rust repair done. When I put it back on I cannot get the thing aligned right. Or what I think is right. If I get the bed sides close then the space between the cab and the front of the box is off. Now I know the thing is 40 years old and may not have been perfect when it was built and maybe I am being stupid, but hey. I have thought about loosening the cab and trying to move it but with the fenders on that is a major project. I just thought I would ask for input and suffer any ridicule I may get for being a perfectionist.

Hey I figure that if people dont ask a question and walk around not knowing
that is more stupid! Alright that out of the way ,I wonder if your truck is a
wide bed or step side I have a step side so my guess is that you dont have
the wood shims under the bed . You may want to check into how thick they
are and make some the right thickness and go from there!
P.S. my wife just reminded me that there is two sets of holes at the front of
the bed in the frame and we had a hard time figuring out witch way to move it . And if you
have the seals that run across the bottom of the bed in the right spot.
