Re: body line ?
No, it shouldn't be like that, although a lot of them are. It is usually the result of worn sagging cab mounts, although I had a truck once that I had to shim new cab mounts to make it match. The bed bolts to solid mounts, so without fabrication, you can't adjust it. Just adjust the cab up and radiator support up to the level of cab and you're good.
