Quick 9” Question

In my other thread I posted about the completion of my shackle flip. I was looking at the truck and notice that the passenger side rear tire is more tight/close to the fender than the left side. By about 1/2”

I am going to measure the axle relative to the frame tomorrow, but before I go about measuring and everything can anyone tell me if the pinion should be exactly centered, and if this offset is normal. Thanks!

Okay so I will measure to make sure pinion is centered. Maybe, hopefully, the bed is just off center.

Pinion centerline is 1.22 inches to the right of frame centerline. Crankshaft/trans centerline is also 1.50 inches to right of frame centerline.
