fleetside shortbox issue

[72bigred]

Ok.. Probably something simple but I just cannot seem to figure it out.. I just installed all new wood/strips. I have yet to install the larger bolts for the bedsides and wheel wells.. Issue is the top of the bed sides at the tailgate are wider than the bottom. I have the tailgate installed and wanted to get everything lined up before I tightened everything up. I have to push in on my bedsides to get a decent gap at the top with the tailgate.. The hidden latches currently will not work..

It does not appear bolting in the bedsides/wheel wells is going to make much of a difference, it will only lock it in place as it sits..


Suggestions would be greatly appreciated, what do I need to move to get this lined up. Thanks
