Stepside guys: what size gap to leave between cab and box?
Since I'm throwing a 57 89" stepside box on my 66-ish truck, I'm not sure what this measurement should be. Looks like if I line up the mounts, I'll have about 3" - and that looks like a little too much. I can't get a good idea look at pictures - seems like I've seen anywhere from no gap to 3".
Suggestions? Thanks! Scot |

I have the cab off right now, never actually measured that gap, but there isn't more than maybe 1/2" of fudge room there once you line up all the bolt holes, and 2-3" sounds right - bed rail mounts and cab mounts line up on the frame holes and don't move forward or back more than the size of the bolt holes will allow.
