Cab to bed alignment issue
« on: May 10, 2015, 09:26:09 pm »
I have a 77 C25 regular cab, long box pickup.  It looks like it "peaks" in the center where the cab meets the bed.  I have replaced all the cab bushings hoping that would level it out, but it has not.  I measured from the ground to the body line that runs from front to back of the truck and the back of the cab sits about 1/8 to 3/16 higher than at the front of the bed.  Has anyone else dealt with this?  Can I take 1/8 of an inch out of the rear bushing sleeves to get it to sit lower in the back?  Any thoughts?  Thanks

Install shims under the front clip and front cab mounts. That's assuming the mounts are in good shape and don't need replacing.
