Wood deck, so it's an overlay wood deck? What is actually wiggling? The entire bed?
There are 8 large bolts that hold the bed/cross sills to the frame.

You need to get underneath and check those 8.
Some of the holes are shown above. 4 in the rear, 4 up front.
Not sure if a swb is the same as a lwb. Mine is lwb.

Are you using the factory bolts? Check the bolts and make sure they are not running out of threads before they are tightly holding the bed down.
