Re: Front wheel opening

That is where I'd want it. The wheel and tire should still look good in the wheel well when you turn the wheel and not look like they are set too far back.

You can see in this photo of my truck that the wheels sat just a bit too far back. The photo was taken in 1991 on the trucks first road trip after being chopped.

Re: Front wheel opening

Thanks Mr.48 After consulting my truck dimension page and doing some measuring, I found it to be dead on. Guess it is good to go ahead and weld it up solid.
