Frame Tweak
I have a 63 chevy half ton 4x4, after getting the box on I noticed that on the drivers side the box slants to the front, the trim lines line up on the front of the box with the cab and the passernger side of the box is level but the frivers side sits up half an inch higher in the rear than the passenger side. Dose anyone have any ideas on whats going on here?

Re: Frame Tweak
I don't exactly know but yours isn't the first that I've heard of being tweaked. Mine front end sits down 1-1/4 ". Not noticeable to most but it makes me crazy. One day I'll take it to a body shop to have the frame checked. Can yours be shimmed ?

Re: Frame Tweak
Ya same here and that 1/2 inch really shows over 8 feet of box! I could shim it but the both side would look kitty whompass, I dont know if i could take the axel spacer out and mill it down or something aong those lines. my only option really is to some how lower the drivers side rear.
