Front vs Rear axle width

Post by Ethan »

I just noticed that my front D44 (closed Knuckle) is 3" wider than the back axle. I measured the outside frame to inside tire width. Currently this truck is just frame, axles and wheels. How is the body going to fit??

It came that way from the factory- Why wouldn't the body fit?

Thanks, thats good to know. This truck had an agricultural spray system ( 500 gallon tank and spray booms) on the back and I thought they may have altered the rear axle for some reason. I have a doaner body and was just wondering how the bed would fit. Sounds like it should be stock - thanks again.
