How perfect do you want, and how much time, effort and money would it take to get to the desired point. Looking at your past posts you have done a dam good job on everything I have seen.

One other thing is how much tooling do you have access to as Grumpy has mentioned.
I'm doing exactly nothing about it The cab and bed are level. I suspect the difference is in the floor board. Like I mentioned before, the rails matched and the cab (corrected) rails on the mounts as well. Have to make up the difference somehow, that leaves the floor and yep leans left, while everything above it is level Equal hardware and torque. So unless I'm wrong, probably am, the floor is off. Had to be factory IMO, since after all, the cab mount surfaces are unequal with factory rivets, and the frame rails are equal.

Thanks for the props, I really try but often frustrating, especially this end. I want to get her done already.

I developed an assembly information kit for restoring my truck from nuts and bolts. It's written in Assy. order, short & simple, packed with all OEM hardware ID; castings; part ID; 100s of part numbers; wiring simple - Resource, and trivial too.

Much info. applies to all 67-72 GM, A/C vehicles, esp. trucks W/O saying. Full search ability, including to 700+ images of illus., parts, charts, Assy., points of interest, cab, bed, & front clip cart plans- Specials and cores were serviced out and R excluded e.g. front/rear glass, body/paint, engine core, rebuilt hinges, steering box, trans, etc.

The project was in-line with long former professions developing process, policy, specs, demo, written for novices, admin., policy, engineers, development, systems & test - Public & govt 2, gross. Sell soft copy cheaply, PM if interested.
