Hi everone i am in a little jam at this time i have been out of work sents 1-16-12 we are liveing off wifes income i payed off my house off last year thats the only thing saving me for now i have worked at the same company sents 1979 and in 1995 we moved to columbus ohio to open up a warehouse for my company in 97 i hurt my back so they put me on a dest job witch i was doing a great job all that time but over the years my manager didn't like me and it took him 10 years of doing or saying things to me. Until.i just couldn't deal with him anymore. But with my back pain and dealing with him i had a bad break down with my depression and axxiety back on 1-16 my doctors took me out of work and no one seems to want to pay me. I have great doctors who are fighting for me.But bwc and my short disabilty won't pay me for one reason or another.but the reason i am telling u this is i need help squring up my bed it is all new stuff it is off by inch i found a guy that has a body shop that said it no big deal but it is if u don't have the money u can't take it there. If someone close to the columbus ohio could help me put the truck back togather that wood help me out so much i have a car trailer i could bring it to u as long as i could aford the gas $ . I really hate to ask i have been working on this the last 3 years so if there is anyone out there who has the time to help out a follow brother truck rebuilder . I pray every day for god to fight my battles for me. The only reason i am writing this is to help me keep me from stressing out. Help me keep my mind on something good. Sorry about my spelling it not the best. Please pray for me that my company will make this write with me. Thank you all doug

Re: PLEASE READ Need help on squareing up my bed
Doug I can't do much for you from where I ambut you say the bed is off,in what way? Not to sound smart or anything now keep in mind you see it and I dont. I run into this kind of problem almost daily in rebuilding late model wrecks and restoring older muscle era stuff. I have had simple problems that I have looked at so long the answer gets blurred[at least in my mind]but is easy to see. Let us start off by taking some measurments. If you are able, I know about back pain, [I see a chronic pain care doctor] get under the truck and take a measurment from the same spot on each side near the rear from the frame to the rocker. Make a note of that and move to the other side take the measurement there. They should be the same or at least very close to the same. If thety arent the cab needs to shift to one side to help line up the bed. This can be done by loosening the cab bolts and moving the cab over . You need only to go half of the distance difference. Now if I am way off please forgive me like I said I cant see you trouble and need a little more help from you on where the gap problem is .

Re: PLEASE READ Need help on squareing up my bed
Ok just a thought. You said the bed is all aftermarket stuff. Did you get new bedsides and bolt them in place? If so can you loosen the bolts and then take your measurements, get it squared and then start tightening the bolts up. I replaced the bedside on mine and it was out a little and I had to do this. It seemed to help as the holes had some slop to them. Hugger is right, sometimes these things turn out to be something simple that we just dont see. Hope you get it fixed. And hope everything else works out for you.
