Are the bed sides parallel at the rear of the bed? One of the reasons that the cross sills were welded was that the back of the beds tended to pinch together or splay out at the top. The early beds didn't have welds.

Do you have a tailgate on this bed? If you are not careful the tailgate won't fit any more.
