    Alright.
    Got a like new tail gate, new rear bumper, bed liner AMD a replacement radiator. No luck on replacement bed itself. But it seems its looking like I'm going to have to fix the bed myself.

    Howd the body / bed mounts go?

    Could be steering box, drag link, tie rod ends, loose steering column u-joint.
    Depends where you find the suspect part in simple end play testing.
    Jacking safety a must when checking any front end components, jack stands and wheel chocks.
    Pry bar and eyes and ears looking and checking how much movement is ok and how much is not ok in a part.

    Are there zerk fittings on the joints? Are the dust boots intact?
    When / is there evidence of last time it was greased / serviced?
    Many questions on a used vehicle.

    Check up and down and left, top to bottom and right end play on each safely lift / jacked front tire.
    You're looking for excessive movement.

    Could be wheel bearing or ball joint movement even worn tie rod ends causing excessive movement at wheels.
