Re: bed problom
Put the tailgate down and use a come along connected to the rear stake pockets to tweak the sides back together. It will take several tries and go slowly.

Re: bed problom
There are a group of about 4-6 bolts on the lower corners of the rear quarters that attach them to the rear crossmember. Loosen both sides then pull sides together with a come-a-long. Retighten bolts and you should be good to go. If ever rebuilt, the beds need to be "squared" as they were when built or you will go nuts with tailgate alignment---both side gaps and front to rear gaps where the gate meets the quarters. That takes a whole lot of bolt loosening and aligning. Not that big a deal, really.
