That sounds tough, even though it's probably a lot of work the only way I could think to do it would be to a old bed and just replace each piece one at a time til it's all new. I'm sure others have built one out right but I don't know how.

You do not need dementions to square it up. Just measure from corner to corner and adjust to make the measurements the same. It's realy not that tough, just assemble everything but tighten nothing untill the tailgate is installed. Once the tailgate is installed, adjust the sides for the vertical lines and then tighten every nut and bolt on it. Then remove the tailgate and weld the rear bottom lower corners of the bedsides to the bed bottom and rear sill. WES

DITTO!Just move it until you get the same number.If you have 1/2" difference,move the side that`s longer 1/4" towards the shorter side.Adjust to 1/2 what the difference is.
