I Heard I Need To Add Some Spacers In Between The Bed Sills Before I Set It Down On The Frame On My 69 C10.

Where Do The Spacers Go and Do I Need To Add Them?

When I took the bed off of my 72 there were no spacers. Metal on metal.

Is the reason for the spacers misalignment with the cab?
If this is the issue its the cab mounting that needs attention not the bed.

If I am way off base maybe post some pictures of the issue?

When I put my bed back together after replacing the wood, and cleaning and painting the sills, I cut squares of tool box liner to sandwich in. Probably not needed, but I did it..

There are some square 1/4" thick rubber pads that go in between the frame rails and the cross sills available from Classic Parts and maybe LMC, GMC Pauls, etc.
