More work than I was led to believe, but at least you were able to make it all work! Woth those plastic liners, the rear gap may not be a big deal other than cosmetic... I'll have to look and see what the normal gap is.

I took a look at the trucks here, that 69 has rubber belting to fill that gap, and the 77 has the gap you mention. it was 1 1/2" at the top, then narrowed down a little, then back to the gap towards the bottom.
