Yea they just fit when the wheel is turned. Part of that may have to do with the fact that the front is a D60 and it's a wider axle. They will fit though as my friend with the same truck, lift, rim specs, and tires with a D44 front fits too.

At least it is all one color now...I could only afford the front half of ol reds body and paint, so a flat bed is going on the back 1/2. Plus I dig flat beds!

I just like the look of the complete body of the truck. Flatbeds can look cool depending on how they are designed. I've always had the goal of making my truck look like my dads so I had to have the bed...the 3/4 frame, dana 60 axles, etc..well that was all my choice cause he had a half ton lol

When you put the 6 inch lift on did you end up lengthening the drive shafts? Mine origionaly was a standard truck but figured I better go with a auto when I put the 521 stroker in it, haven't done anything with the shafts yet. Here's a pic off mine as it sits now

Looking good, on my red truck with a measly 351M/4spd and a 6", no d/s lengthening required.

Thank you sir. And for me I have the c6 auto and np205. I had to have the front and rear lengthened. The rear worked but it wasn't safe.
