I am thinking the support bracket under the dash pod should be flush with the bottom of the pod.i am far from that. I have a spacer between the pod and support right now. Do I have the right parcel tray for a 60 single cab? any suggestions for a better fit? thanks

| And I probably don't have to say this, but you need much larger OD washers over those slots (I'm guessing you see that). |

| Yes, should be a thin lip tray. You have a fat lip tray there. |
