I have seen this done on a few show trucks. It looks very nice to see the
gap filled in. Only problem comes in when you drive the truck. As others
have posted, the cab is designed to flex but the bed is not. You might be
able to accomplish this on a street truck if you remove the urethane
bushings from the cab and replace with solid mounts. Definately not the
ride for me.
