I’ve been told that it’s just the driveline that needs shortening. I know the front ones are not centered from the factory that’s why most ppl will buy aftermarket to move them forward. I’ll do some more searching.

It's very common for the sb stepsides to have the wheels toward the rear of the fender opening. It is also common that the sb fleetsides had the wheels towards the front of the wheel opening. I don't know why, they just do.

You could probably move your bed back slightly but not enough to center it.

Shorter drive shaft will not move the diff.. research is advised..
