anyone have inside pics of a fleetside bed?
I have a dilema, I placed my bed onto the frame today and found that the rear of the bed is alot lower than the cab alignment wise.
I am also in need of pics that show the placement of cross bed sills. I need to find out how it looks, I really appreciate your help and thank you in advance.

The rear of the bed needs to be raised 3/4" to make the lines match up. I made some mounts out of conveyor belt to mount mine. I can't have any pictures to share though,it's covered in snow right now

I looked for pics of the cross members but couldn't find any. I only have the front and the rear crossmembers in. My frame must be wrenched cause the ass end of my bed needs to go down about 1.5"

Re: anyone have inside pics of a fleetside bed?
Attached is the reference photo I used for my short fleetside. As you can see Chevy did not put a cross sill where the question marks are. On my bed that was where the most damage was, but I used it as a work/dump truck for 20 years. I added a 1.5" x 1.5" angle at that location, drilled to match the other circled one.
