I always figured it was either:
since the bed was "recycled" from earlier style truck, the wheelbase might be a tad off, thusly putting the axle off center in the fenders
OR
the change to trailing arm suspensions on these trucks placed the axle in a slightly different place, again resulting in it being off center

thats just a guess
