Bed to Cab measurement

Hey everyone,

Putting my fleet-side bed back on my '69. Trying to figure out the gap between the cab and the bed. If someone has the measurement that would be a great help.

Thanks

From the top of the front bed panel to the cab (just below the rear window) is right at 1" on my '72.

Re: Bed to Cab measurement

I used two 1" boards - one on each side between the cab and bed and pushed the bed forward. Then I eyeballed the left to right by looking from the back of the bed towards the front.

The reason for the two boards is that it's easier to keep the distance the same while adjusting for left to right.
