Bumper shims should do the trick. They're shaped tlike squared-off "U's. Most parts stores carry one type or another.

Make sure the cab and core support mounts aren't rotting, or god forbid, sheetmetal rusting causing the body to out of alignment with the frame. If all is good try to shim the bumper.
