also just wanted to say that the bags are each individually run and is still on leaf springs and the guy who had the truck would alot of times put one side down at a time ...could that mess something up if it isnt 2/3/4 linked ...?b/c i have the money to buy it and dont want to buy it if its something seriously wrong

i thought the cab was the only part with rubber pads i know mine did not have any bed that is

ahh dont worry about it, my cock is off to one side too


oh


lol umm i mean it could be the floor that not perfectly level of one tire has more air in it, but if it is the box that is not lined up, it could be missing a spacer or maybe the the support is startin to give out, (hope not) just unbolt the bed and add a washer in between the mount and the bed, and u should be fine, or measure from the frame to the ground on both sides and see if they are equal, but make sure u do it on a really smooth flat surface

ok well hopefully i can chec kthe truck out tomm...get more pics and measure how far from each side It doesnt seem like a spacer issue though its off by a good amount it looks like

ok I figured it out what the problem is ...and please help me if im wrong on any of it or you think its something else ...also I havent bought the truck yet but I THINK it can be fixed ...steer me in the right direction

Heres my friend Pete and you can see when the bags are filled its cocked to the side ...


I thought it was this...that it was mono-leafed...but it wasnt that simple...


With that being seen I also noticed all this rust on the frame...



Here is a bag and how its mounted...



Nice Little Leak...


HERE IT IS I BELIEVE...THE PIC IS ON ITS SIDE BUT THAT IS THE MOUNT FROM THE BED TO THE FRAME...NOT EVEN THERE...JUST A PIECE OF METAL WELDED TO HOLD IT (Passenger side where its lower...



Pic of the other mount in the back left side...

Geezzzzz, Where did the frame go?lol If i were u i would just get some 2x3 or 2x4 and make a new ass end from the c-notch back, and make your own bed Mount's, The bed mounts should lay flat on the frame though idk why he has that big ass spacer on the one side Probably tryin to make up for it somehow.....
my5t3ry   +1y
yea thats what I was just thinking ...just doing the back end myself ...and yea I think he did the spacer to match the bodyline of the cab

not sure what to do you think its worth this ...

1000 up front ...

and 800 everynow and than in small payments ...???

We'll if ur gonna buy it i'd just pay for it and get it over with, Thats just how i am i don't like making payments. You got a good place to start though if u do buy it, how's the rest of the frame?

I'd suggest putting some kid of link system under it though wither it be a 2,3, or 4 link, Then u wont have to worry about makin brackets on the parts of the frame u replace for the leaf springs...
