Long time no post. Truck update
Welp.. in grand I didn't need to spend the money but did style.. I present to you some before and after...
Before: ![]() After: Better?? Looks jacked up in the back and the only reason I can think of why is the shortened frame isn't perfectly straight. I dunno. I'll live with this until I can do a frame swap

Re: Long time no post. Truck update
That looks like it should!!!! I have never liked newer beds on older trucks, just not my bag I guess, just my opinion though.
Looks great ( I wouldn't think it would be the frame) maybe that other bed was a little lower(wheelwell height?) anyway looks nice now! Brian

Re: Long time no post. Truck update
looks good. A new set of mounts would likely line things up again. I think the reason it looks jacked up to you is the rear cab mounts may be shot. Mine had settled like that also and new cab mounts picked the back of the cab up to line up again with the bed.
