Bolting bed down-How big of gap? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm bolting down the bed. It slides forward and back a little for adjustment. What should the gap be between cab and bed? Maybe right in the middle of the adjustment ?

Mines about 1/2".

I duct taped a piece of 3/4" board (1X4) on either side and pushed it forward. Be careful you don't damage the paint.

That's a great idea, I went back and forth with a tape when I was reinstalling my bed.
