Re: Bed off from cab!

I believe this is pretty common. Both 69's I've owned were not aligned properly. I never worried about it. The bed is just held on by like 6 bolts. You should be able to pull them loose and make the adjustment. Worst case, you might have to drill out a couple of the holes to allow for the adjustment.

Or you can do like I've done, and just drive it...

Hey Vegas, the bed does have some play in it when you loosen the bolts, mine can move from side to side about 1/2 of an inch or so and that should be enough. If the front is moved one way and the back the opposite direction you could get about an inch. Or just wallow the holes a little!!!! Ummm......I think.
