the way ive seen almost everyone else do it is exactly what Fat Mike just said.. about a 1/2" from the steering box bolt.. you cant go any closer without effecting how the steering box is mounted. (plus any closer, and the box itself would be in the way)
you will still have to trim the inner fenders to fit.. so dont worry about cutting it "too far back".. you just trim all you can, then mod the fenders for the rest.

Ive seen that in other peoples builds but that is another problem...no steering box yet.

You don't need a steering box, just go off the forward most bolt hole. I cut mine right up to the sleeve in the frame for that bolt, then cut the other side to match.
