Re: Whats the bed issue?

Some image hosting places won't let you hotlink, appears this might be one of them. I always have used imageshack.us when I needed to do it.

If the photo is already on your pc though, just let the forum here host the picture for you. In the big box where you type your new messages, look further down that page. Under Additional Options you'll find a "manage attachments" button. You can upload up to 5 photos/pictures per post, is a lot more handy than hosting them somewhere and then linking to them.

Re: Whats the bed issue?

Yeah I tried just going from the pc to here but it wouldn't allow it. Obviously I was in error. I had no trouble under the old format here, oh well. Thank you for the help!

Anyways what would cause the bed to be out of alignment the way it is? Current owner says its never been wrecked and the frame is straight. You cant tell from the passenger side, just the drivers side. Just wondering what would make it so pronounced in this case?

Re: Whats the bed issue?

The bed sits directly on the frame so you need to get under the truck and see if any bed braces are rotted possibly not supporting one of the corners.

Re: Whats the bed issue?

I think he is lying to you, something is bent in there somewhere. My bed is rotted and does not look like that. Plus if it was rotted the front of the bed would not be lifted like it is.

mines rotted as well, does NOT look like that, she has 2 bolts in her and sits fine.

SIR: i reccomend u run away from that truck, if the owner cant even take the time to put air in the tire to make you want it, tons of things are wrong.

RUN AWAY FROM THAT TRUCK UNLESS U HAVE VERRRYYY DEEP POCKETS AND A TRAILER.

Yes I'm passing on it. First time I've seen a bed off kilter like that.
