Trim problems
I have a 72 long bed and the trim don't line up very good .I have replaced the radiator support mounts and the cab mounts now I would like to get the trim to match up better. The truck looks like it sags in the middle.Maybe its normal?

Re: Trim problems
you probably need to put shims under the hockey puck cab cusions, but it's kind of difficult to know where you need to place them without pics.
Welcome by the way.

Re: Trim problems
Which trim does not line up, cab to bed, cab to fender, or all? How much is it off? Is the difference the same on both sides? The factory used thick washers at the rear cab mounts, did you reuse them, the kits do not contain the thick ones? Assuming the bushings are all in the correct place, you need to shim the rear cab mounts so the cab aligns with the bed.
