Hey Mike
The frame is actually a 1970 k20 frame and the bed is a 1972 C20 bed.
Both 3/4 tons. So I am stumped.

I did measure and measure and measure again. I figured it is about 5/8 inch lower. So my plan is to use the 69-72 front body mounts and add 3/8" thick washer and lift the bed 1" that will give me enough room for the fuel filler piping to the tank and even up the cab and bed.
So Today I got the lathe out and make some spacers. Pictures to follow.
