Bed Installation
I'm having some trouble mounting my bed. I had bought the 69 c10 longbed off of a guy on Craigslist the truck had no bed. I searched for about two months and finally found the be I have always wanted a fleetside. The problem that I'm having is that the bed sets above the body line. I have seen many people on the Forum say that the beds are interchangeable but I'm not too sure.
Bottom Line do i evidently have the wrong bed for the frame? I have pictures but i wasn't allowed to upload them or something. |

Re: Bed Installation
Pictures? Did you use new bushings for mounting the bed? There will be a major difference between using new bushings for mounting the bed and keeping the old under the cab.

Re: Bed Installation
could be the cab bushings are shot and letting the cab sit too low and make you think its the bed pics might help

Re: Bed Installation
There shouldn't be bushings under the bed. Are your cross sills that the bed bolts go through sitting down on the frame? It should sit down right on them. Looks like they are up off the frame a little. Are you parked on a level pad?

Re: Bed Installation
Might be time to look for a different cab... or different truck altogether.
