I should also mention that I did take the frame into an autobody shop to have the low DS rail brought up to match the PS.

The checked it for square and it is. But they failed to bring the rail high enough, that’s why I was out checking it over.

They also don’t have any specs on a 1964 frame, so they’re shooting for a symmetrical and square frame. That’s why I’m asking on here to get insight from folks that have been in this spot and assembled their bed and found all the rails to be inline or not?

To me, it seems like maybe the truck had a overloaded trailer that pulled the rear down after the bumpstops on both sides, but moreso on the drivers side.
