79’ K10 Silverado Cab To Bed Alignment

[Coby]

is it normal for the bed to be slightly wider than the back of the cab? Bought the truck and it appeared wider but I thought it just looked that way because the cab mount bushings were shot and it was sagging, but now after replacing the bushings it still sticks out on both sides a tad when you look down the body line. Is it just an optical illusion thing due to how the rear cab pillers angle inwards slightly?

I'm sure someone will chime it. Welcome btw. Got any pics? Pics are almost a must in these parts lol.

I will try to get some pics this afternoon. Seems like everything a person fixes or adjusts on these trucks opens up another can of worms lol....until you just go all out and do a frame off!

My truck looks the same way. I assumed it was supposed to be like that but I am not sure. It does look like the back of the cab tapers in at the rear on mine.

Welcome, nice looking truck. Looks even side to side and normal. @Keith Seymore would definitely be the one to know for sure given his history with these trucks.

Thanks guys!! Just so used to the fit/finish of new trucks.......at almost 40 years old I need to accept some imperfections that I see!!!

Hey they aren’t imperfections they are quirks and quirks are what makes these what they are.

Mine looks the same, but the passenger side sticks out from the cab about 1 inch, and the driver side is almost perfect. Someone please help.
