Is my frame bent?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So my bed sits funny on my 1970 CST/10. I attributed it to the bed being 40 years old and such but I got to thinking and decided to do an experiment with frame straightness.

I leveled the frame right behind the cab with jack stands and took 2 points on each side of the frame to the floor where I suspected some funny business. Here's what I got.

DR. PS.

Point 1 23 3/4" 24"

Point 2 23 5/16" 23 1/4"

Brake drum to Frame 8 7/8 8 1/2

Is this thing tweaked or is this normal variance for a 40 yr old vehicle?
