I don't know if the wood bed is different specs than the steel. But on my 72 GMC I had to notch the crossmember in the bed.

Hope this helps

Wood floor is thicker than stock steel, therefore the x-members to support it are not as tall as steel floor trucks (floor bottom sits closer to frame). This may explain this issue. NSANE68's suggestion may help. Call the company you bought this kit from and explain what you have, maybe they can help.

Or you could put it back to stock height, put on some steel wheels and dogdish hubcaps, fix the confounded hole in your dash, and be driving.
