Re: Tailgate alignment / adjustment help please

No amount of bending or tweeking of the bed sides will get the left top edge of bed side to align with the top of the tailgate. Just move the trunion up on left side and at a minimum everything will be closer. I would bet a dollar that all would be fixed. The delrin trunions are a great upgrade. No more grinding when opening and closing gate!
Edit- A quick search turned up this https://lsfab.com/67-72-gmc-chevy-c1...c-chevy-truck/ I am sure there are others. Holley is a big corp maybe look elsewhere.
Sorry, attached wrong post. He stated it looked like it had to come out more on the bottom. I was referring to the bed sides being tack welded to the bed floor and bed frame.
