Bed rubbing against cab (squeaking)

01 prerunner. The front of the bed is a little banged up as it’s my defacto work truck now. I can’t get good pictures but the lower portion of the front of the bed is touching the cab.

Anyway I can fix this?

 

If you have any reason to suspect that someone has moved the bed in the past, crawl underneath and take a good look at the bed's mounting bolts. If they show signs of having been on the business end of a wrench, I would loosen them and then carefully shove the bed back about 1/4 to 1/2 inch but not more. Maybe the mounting bolts were insufficiently tightened or the previous owner was not sure what he was doing.

 

Thanks, I’ll check. If I do loosen and try and reposition the bed, does anyone know the torque specs for the bed nuts?

 

While you're under there take a good look at the frame. Especially around the rear shocks and in front of the rear tires. You may have a bigger problem than loose bolts.

 

Looks like the front of the bed is bent out causing the rub. Pull the bed and hammer it back in.
