I went out to measure mine to see what it was and I discovered something:
The bed on my truck is crooked. The gap is 1/2 an inch more on the right than it is on the left.
Thanks, Robert. I now know somthing else I need to fix! :wink:

I meashured mine and came up with 4 in. from door jam to the front of the bed.

I checked the cab to bed distance, meashured from directly behind the cab to the top of the bed and mines at 1 3/8 in.
I can take it apart, but getting it back together is another story!
