You may need, and can use the spacers, I am doing the same with mine to gain clearance at the gas tank and under the cab, radiator support will need some too. When I pulled my original bed there was nothing but some very thin, less than 1/16", rubber pieces I assume for squeak abatement. It had not been off the truck before, I bought it originally from the second owner in 1976.
