![]() Here are some pics of all the bed and cab mounts. I got the cab bushings from a guy on ebay that said he didn't like them. The other thing I thought about is the cab bolts are not tight. Do y'all think the bushings will compress that much? They are poly bushings and I don't think they will. One the bed I installed the 1/4" rubber blocks that are repops form some supplier. The two top cab bushings look differrent. I thought they should be the same. I just noticed that while reviewing the pics. I don't know if there is a thickness difference yet. Radiator support

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Swamp coolers do not work in humidity. Air conditioning dries the air, swamp coolers add moister to the air. They work great in a dry climate like here in the high desert.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Alan, Is that a spacer i see between the cross sill and the frame pedestals? If so, that is your problem. Take it out, the cross sills sit down flat on the pedestals.

Here are the rubber blocks that I am referring to. By the discription it says "bed wood mounting pads." Does that mean they go between the wood and the crossmembers? That still doesn't make sense. Pic Courtesy of truckandcarshop

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
That is interesting Alan. I have never seen any such thing on any of these trucks originally. I would leave them out and see how the bed sits. A 1/4 inch there might make a big difference on the exterior body lines. My 61, 64, & 66 beds did not have these when i torn it down from their original condition. If i used anything at all i would not use anything thicker than a bicycle tube. There is really no need for it anyway. Once the bed is pulled down tight it should not be moving on the pedestal. Let me know if taking them out helps.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
When I disassembled my bed there were no pads present and I was wondering why Mar-K had included them. Now I know I'm not the only one that didn't have the rubber spacers between the cross sills....Vernski

Removed the rubber pads. It is better, but not there yet. the passenger side is actually really close to where it needs to be. I looked at the passenger side rear cab mount and it has an extra washer just under the cab. There is one that stayed on the cab during the repair process. It looks like a permenant piece. Could it have been added at the factory? More than likely it was added during it's life. The driver side is still 3/8" off. I'm going to install a spacer under the drivers side rear cab mount to see if it will match the other side.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Alan,
I know what is part of the problem!!! One of your floor supports is wrong size in height. The middle floor brace should be a thin floor brace your pics appear to have a standard height one in there which would throw it off about that 1/2 inch or more per mar-k site the middle one is the short one you should have three one short in height and 2 taller ones I also remember when I disassembled mine it had the short floor brace in the middle in front of the wheel tubs Last edited by 65Custom; 07-14-2011 at 11:26 PM. |

![]() Worked on lining up the bed and cab. I ended up installing 2 of the old cab mount washers under the left rear cab support. Then I installed 2 of the rubber cushions under the right rear of the bed and one on the left rear bed sill. That also leveled my bed out with the cab looking at it from the rear. I will install the rear bumper and check the alignment with the bed. In hindsight I should have done more checking of body lines and shim placement (if they exist) during teardown. Also check the frame. The lessons we learn.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I've already rolled the bedsides lip. That should do it. If not I'll have to get a different offset on the wheels. BTW thanks

I wanted to stay with my 6 lug rims and had to look quite a while to find a '69 6-stud axle in a 3.07 ratio. The later axles are wider by about 1.5" Things are coming together nicely So any long range rough estimate of the first drive?? I bet you are ready..... ![]()
