Is it an optical illusion or is that box less than full width? Like maybe 7'6" or so? Wondering about why the rear tires hang out.

I have a 98 377.. was thinking of doing the same thing...
My pete had a sleeper and someone made a day cab out of it, now I dont have a seal to go to the box.. that might be an easy fix but im stumped as to what to do with the air ride on the cab.. there don't look like there is any room to keep them on the cab and still mount the box..
Do you have any pics?
thanks

My truck was a day cab. They bolted down the cab to the frame, no air ride. I think most of the truck conversions have the cabs locked down. But some have managed to keep the air ride and use the accordian boot.
