Thanks for the suggestion Bill. The wood spacers I have in there right now are 3/4" oak hardwood floor. That's the same thickness of the replacememnt floor, right?.

I have the same problem you have with lining up, but I yet to make cab and bed mounts.

At your alignment problems.

They offered to get us a swamp cooler at work, but thought it wouldn't be a good idea around bare metal and filler.

If you shim the cab won't that effect the core support/fender alignment too? I'm just guessing on the bed, from the pictures and what you did, I would think it should be off the other direction if any at all.

I know you will figure it out!

Thanks Karl, you are right about affecting other things. I took some pics posted below of all the mounting areas. I'm sure it's something simple that I over looked, I hope.

I agree with you. It looks like the bed is down in the rear or up in the front.

Here are some pics of all the bed and cab mounts. I got the cab bushings from a guy on ebay that said he didn't like them. The other thing I thought about is the cab bolts are not tight. Do y'all think the bushings will compress that much? They are poly bushings and I don't think they will. One the bed I installed the 1/4" rubber blocks that are repops form some supplier.



The two top cab bushings look differrent. I thought they should be the same. I just noticed that while reviewing the pics. I don't know if there is a thickness difference yet.
