The rear of the front tire looks awfully close to the back of the wheel well. Does it have the original front "axle"?

These trucks were built with the wheels towards the back of the opening. In fact, guys who build show trucks have to buy kits to relocate the axle so that they can make it look "correct". I simple left every stock on the front end.
