i cant believe nobody has caught it yet. if your going for the Army 2.5 ton or 5 ton look, both drive axles need to be in the back. or you got the cab on backwards. one or the other. if your running chevy power i would say the rear axle is a little overkill. i can tell its a strong one cause it has the sticker in the center of the wheel. whats that say? Strange?

Is it the cab?

Is it something with the cab? It looks like it's sloping back.

PS: Nice Build!

At least the man drinks real beer, Shiner, instead of that "water" called Bud. The low hood looks cool, just don't let the oil pan drag.

I think you messed up with the wheels; the wide ones don't go on the front!
