Mongo - It is a little forward; I thought so too. Keep in mind the bed isn't mounted permanently yet, and the 4- link has an easy 1" of adjustment also.

there are two rivets on the fender, that is roughly center. when I center it and take a picture from anywhere but straight on the wheel, it looks too far forward, so I think your flat wheel is playing tricks a little.

looks great!

Hey Joe, it seems like the factory originally had the rear axle forward of center, maybe for a swooshy streamlined look? I know it's a personal choice but do you think the rear wheels should actually be centered, or leave them where the factory had them?
