Nope-I’m saying that the CPP channels were fine, but that there was enough clearance in the fit of everything at the joint that some adjustments were needed. I basically recreated the Brothers kit components except for the template. If I had done the brothers kit I imagine I would have run into the same issue.

If you aren’t taking the truck down to a bare frame and building a fixture, I would recommend welding the frame back together only after putting the bed back on so that the body line alignment can be checked.
