68 Step side rear end question.
 
Currently have a 68 Step side and it's bugging me to death that the rear axle sits 3/4-1" to far back in the fender well. The NSR show is here this weekend and noticed that the 67-68 show quality step sides out there are the same way. Is this that the rear end is not centered properly or true from what i have read that the fender openings make the wheel not look centered inside well?

Just measured mine. 18" from center to front bottom wheel well, 18" from center to rear bottom wheel well.

I'm about to put a 5" drop on the back. Looks Ike those #s will not be = afterwards...just by eyeballing it...
