Putting a pick-up bed on my F-550

What kind of shims do you need? Crude drawing or verbal description? Who knows, I might have something that would work...

I bought the shims/washers and I will install them this weekend and I will post some pictures the first part of the week when I get back here and this should turn out great without all the intercooler and radiator relocating crap

Well the bed is on and straight and lines up well !! I made some brackets to bolt the bed to frame and I have one more set to make and it will be bolted tight and right with a very solid mounting system. The shims/large washers worked great and it is looking nice. Pictures later today for all of us picture lovers LOL
I love people that say " It can't be done ! " anything can be done, it just may take a little longer

All things are possible . . . given enough time and money.

I think the only things that will give it away as a F-550 are the wheel size and F-550 emblems other than that it should look like a F-350 dually
Shhh
That F-700 that Kent posted is mighty impressive pick-up
