Stance question

[t6dude]

The truck cab and bed on my '69 K/10 are both not level. I'm fairly certain that the cab is a spring and shock issue. The bed however is level at the front and crooked at the back (vertically). What could this problem be? I've looked up under the bed and the spacers are turned different ways, but I'm just not sure if thats it. How can I check and find out? Thanks

I don't know a whole lot about this stuff yet as I'am just starting out. But could it be that the bushings are bad?

I would measure the distance between the bed and the frame and make sure it is uniform from side to side and correct it if wrong. Also, make sure that frame is plumb and square, sometimes the rear of the frame, after the axle, gets bent from towing and hauling. Also, maybe replace those cab mounts with new ones to make sure that it is at the correct height all around. I have seen the original mounts become very squished over 40 years of use.

mine did the same thing and i put in new cab bushings and my bed was crooked cause my leafsprings were sagging differently. I had a shop rebend them and throw on a couple more leafs for me and all was good.
