    I am putting a 53 truc on an s-10 frame but don't how many inches below the back window to put the top of the bead to get "stock look"
    Or, other way to say this is, how much below the rear seam should the top of the bed sit.
    thanks
    Herman

    You got it!

    Herman, from the top of the bed to the cab seam on my truck is 9 1/4 inches. Mine's a '50, but they should be the same. Hope this helps

    On my 54 the bottom line of the bead around the cab to the top of the bed is 7 3/4 in.
