84 K10. Curious if somebody could get me a measurment of the rear most bed mount on their long bed truck. Talking about the standoff from the underside of the bed. Mine are both rusted which is causing one corner of the bed to sag. Plan is to cut out the rust and use square stock to go the width of the bed and replaced the rusted channel/bed stand off.

Secondly,
Truck has the square headlights and am curious are these sealed beam units? Also the one headlight i can tell wont stay adjusted. Is this part of the headlight itself or seperate? It looks like a back tab off the headlight is broke and not catching the actual adjuster.
Thanks

You're going to have to be more specific as to what you want a measurement on. That is for me anyway - someone else may understand what you are asking for. I currently have a truck in the garage with the bed off and can get good dimensions for you if you describe it better.

Yes - they are sealed beams. Top lamp is low/high and bottom is high only.

Also the one headlight i can tell wont stay adjusted.

You answered your own question on this one.

See the rusted part sitting on the lift block? Thats the part I need a measurement of. Mine is collapsing.

Also the broken part on the headlights will come with a new sealed beam set correct?

I'll try and get a measurement after the kiddo starts her nap, but can't make any guarantees...

Hard to get an exact measurement, but it looks like 2 15/16" to 3"...
