Shim one or cut the other. It sounds crude but you wont be the first one to do it.

The key is figuring out which one needs to be adjusted so the entire body line is straight.

The rear Bushings on my Cab had to be cut a quarter inch after triple checking to make sure the front did not need to be shimmed. I bought a back up pair just in case though....

Good Luck! Sounds like your getting close.

I would test run the bed too before you cut anything.... Just so you dont have issues later.

Thanks again I have box sides on & cab is about 1/2in high I also have a 71 c20 thought about pulling in shop & measuring between the two so I can level out the 70 c20
