have a couple of questions.
 

my bed looks like it is out of alignment, there are a couple of small dings in the cab where the corners of the bed have hit it. was it mounted improperly, or could this be from the frame flexing or something? or possibly the cab mounts are off or something like that.

also does anybody know any good ways to keep bees from building a nest in your project trucks? last summer i got a nasty sting from a hornet right on the joint of my finger. i don't want to have to go through that again :D couldn't bend my finger for a few hours.

My bed must have done that a few times before I removed it. The mounts weren't in bad shape so I'm not sure how it happened.

No idea on the bee problem.

The bed thing is weird. However, you may want to take up smoking cigars or always have someone around who does to make the bees indifferent to you being there. If they're honey bees, then that could be a mess.

they're mainly wasps and hornets.

could bad cab mounts cause the cab to hit the bed?

My bed is tweaked a little low on the drivers side rear. I noticed that I was missing an overload spring on the driver's side trailing arm. I asked my uncle about it being there and he told me that it didn't have it when he bought the truck. I imagine that most of you know how the overload springs work on coil spring trucks. They actually support the bed itself. I came to the conclusion that after years of being a workhorse and pulling a trailer with dozing equipment that, the weight of all of the loads and trailer loads made my bed sag the inch that it is. I took the passenger side overload spring off since I don't do any towing. You might check that out though...
