Did you measure the front of the bed from side wall to side wall? It looks like the bed sides are leaning out at the top.

I can't imagine that the tailgate is too small. You might have fabricated the rear cross member too wide.

No better smell than that of fresh paint. I've been building and painting cars/trucks for 47 years. Not gonna stop now.
