Is it an even 1/2" down on both sides? I wouldn't say it's a guarantee you have to shim the core support up the same amount but probably some. Is the body line across the back of the cab parallel to the front bed panel? What if you shim the back of the bed up? If the bed bolts are loose I would try just quickly putting shims in the back so the bed is slightly raked.
This is a nasty game. I spent a lot of time making mine match as well. I even contemplated cutting the bed mounts. Once the truck was mocked up, I made locating tools to precisely position everything back once I took it apart for paint.
