hehehehehe =)

I'm still trying to get my bed all straightened up.... the back of the truck is actually higher in the back, but with the bed like it is it loks lower....
<sigh>

I put a bunch of washers under there to see how much adjustment I need to level it out.... I may get some blocks built at a machine shop around here to level it out untill I can afford to get the frame straightened....
damn...
