Frame Twist????

[s10mafia50]

Do any of you have the bed of your 98 newer s10 pickup truck angled over in respect to your cab? My 00 4cyl did it, and now my 98 is starting to do it as well. What is wrong??? Is the frame mildly twisted??? or is it just how you look at the bed and the cab?? I dunno wtf is going on with this, so if anyone else has had this problem, please tell me!! Thanks

Is it lowered. because lowered s10 are notorioust this. from the factory they are almost 1" lower on the left front side. When you drop the truck it becomes noticeable. belltech sells a spring spacer that will correct this problem. hope this helps.

All of them have it, lowered or not, its the famous S10 Lean. S10's trucks show it more on the bed that looking at the front. Blazers are only seen from the front end!!

yes it has the lean, as you guys say it, but what i was talking about was how the bed lines up with the cab of the truck. My bed is out a little on the pass. side and a little in on the drivers. My 00' only got that way after I drove it 70k miles!!!

My truck bed is a little off. It was like that before I lowered it, but I'm not sure when I first noticed it. I can fit two fingers side by side between the cab and bed on one side and not on the other. Whenever I point it out to people most never notice.

only the true s10 people notice the little stuff :)

can you loosen the bed bolts and adjust it one side or the other... just a thought..... mattio :D

My old 00' 4cyl had about a 2" shift from side to side. Normally it got worse the more i brake torqued it....hmm wonder why????LOL...But my 98 isn't that bad yet, it is only about .75" on one side and .5" on the other...I think it has been this way since the bedside was replaced. Thanks guys and i'm on s10 #2 with 4 years of ownership under my belt. Been through almost everything...
