iv never removed my cab and i know the bed sits right on the frame without bushings, with this being said i cant get the lower body line to sit right with the line on the bed, it is about 3/4 to low, would a new set of cab mounts fix this??

New cab mounts should fix it. You should also replace your radiator core support mounts if you haven't already. WES

I read through your build thread and got lost on how , what you did for your track bar or watts link. The reason I ask is I took my 71 all the down and as I am putting it together I can see the bed frame is already high on the drivers side again after putting in the trac bar. Maybe a super bar would be better but I'm leaning to a watts link set up. Btw cool truck.

cool. ill go pick up a set of cab mounts,
wes. core support mounts are done!!
richard h. not too shure what you mean but the bed frame being higher but when i did the air ride i installed and adj rear bar.

rite now mine sits higher on the pass side due to the exhaust tube hitting the axle, i still need to fix that. also there is some sort of problem in the pass front, it wants to sit higher eversince i took out the coils the po had in there, ive replaced all controll arms/shafts and new spindals. i think it was in a fender bender at one time and i might need to have the frame tweeked.
