You might want to take this question to the making a stovebolt bed forum. I'm sure that's where the real bed expertice will be hanging out.

My response to your problem would be to either look for an earlier bed, or raise the floor of the bed.

If you care that some people are going to notice a '54 bed on a '52 truck (and they will) finding an earlier bed might be your best bet. If you don't care, raise the floor in the bed.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
