Bed to cab gap
Installed the bed and the top gap is horrible and the bottom is wide. All new body mounts although the body lines look good not sure any ideas.

Re: Bed to cab gap
What year are you working on? Did you verify that the cab cushions are installed in the correct position?

Re: Bed to cab gap
Your description indicates either the bed or the cab is tilted, can you tell which one?

1/2 or 3/4 ton? The mounts are different. You sure you didn't use the wrong ones? It will take pictures to figure it out. LockDoc

Re: Bed to cab gap
Post the pic's of the part number from the kit if you can, but it does sound like possibly a 3/4T kit under a 1/2T???? Or possibly just not tightened enough or under tightened?

Re: Bed to cab gap
Frame tweaked or bed is not square? Without pics it's hard to say.
