Maybe body and paint would be a better place?
Personally, I rarely visit the bed forum.

In the center of the cab to my bed panel 1-1/8" (narrowest point with curve of cab). On the aprons to cab the narrowest point near the top of the apron is 5/8" clearance. If your bed is square and fenders correctly positioned it should be near these measurements. The clearance in your photo is too tight the normal flex is going to cause contact at those surfaces and mar your paint. I should add my truck is a frame-off so all mounts and related hardware is brand new, hope this helps. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 | Sorry Kenny I never post or respond there. Here is my answer to the question. It would seem that cab adjustment if standard mounts are used and the cab floor is correct would be the hardest fix. You have multiple fit issues with column, shifter, pedals, brake linkages, etc. The front cab mounts are ridgid points with no fore/aft adjustment only height. If you need to gain 5/8" as shown from your picture I would get it on the bed end. https://www.flickr.com/photos/advance-design_parts_co/12315088635/in/album-72157640522200463/ | | |
