Bed ain't on straight

[WXman]

If I stand behind my truck and eyeball it, the bed is shifted to the driver side ever so slightly. It's most noticeable where the bed meets up with the cab. There's more cab corner visible on the passenger side than there is on the driver side. Anybody else notice that?

Great, here I am sitting in my comfy chair recovering from hernia surgery and you make a post that makes me want to get up and go look. Movement is painful, I'm fighting the urge and so far pain is winning over curiosity.

could it be the weight of the gas tank somehow?

 

[WXman]

No it's not a sag. The bed is actually shifted toward driver side more. See how much more of the cab you can see on passenger side?

 

[RavensEyeOffroad]

very odd. Anyone else have the same issue?

So it is....

Did you put a ruler up to it ? Its pretty dang close , I would say within tolerance limits for assembly ... but I don't know how much they officially allow . At least in the pictures it doesn't look bad at all . You can measure it to see what you get, I am curious, but I don't think that will do anything to the function of the truck, nor any kind of safety concern unless the bed is loose .

I’m not even going to entertain the idea of looking at mine. It’s probably off a little and will drive me crazy. I actually wish this had never been brought to my attention. I’ll be right back...

Is the bed at least square with the cab ?

Mine looks similar, haven't measured though. Just eyeballin, maybe 1/8 in

I don't know man. In the one pic I see a taillight. Could be mind tricks of perspective. Tell you what. Maybe grab yer multi tool and let's see the actuality of the offset?

Thanks...I feel better now.

yeah I wish I never read this too. I'm going to go throw out my caliper.

Try turning your wheels to the right... it should straighten it out...
