Welcome, if the mounts are all in good shape then something got bent. That is the only way the bed will not match the cab. Was the truck in a wreck?

I don't think so! The guy who i bought the truck tell me it as been at a suspension shop for repair something at the rear leaf spring! Maybe one of these leaf springs is higher than the other side?

were the leafs replaced as a pair? were the mounts messed with? this definitely sounds like a good place to start looking. the only work i ever trust is my own. oh and pics please.
