Well the plan was to throw the bed floor on and cut my filler neck hole before assembling the rest of the bed, but that did happen.

The bed floor needs to move towards the passenger side an 1/8th inch to be centered. Every other measurement was perfect. So, I have to throw the bedsides on and cab on to make sure the body lines match up, then get the bed centered with the cab, then mark and drill my filler neck.

This floor was also supposed to be for the wide tubs, but its not, so I'll have to cut a few inches out on each side as well.

Fitment of these bed sides are horrible.
