that said, it looks like its only about an inch off center, 6" is a half a foot, and no way is that half a foot off.
the AD front wheel is slightly back in the wheel arch from the factory so most s10 swaps account for that and move the cab back an inch. also, lowered s10s move the front wheel back in the front wheel arch so most people compensate another 1/2 inch or so for that.
it looks like in other pictures you have the front wheel set correctly, so maybe scoot the bed back a 1/2", the fender will easily move that much to meet the running board and apron. guys focus on the bed to cab gap too much, remember that the back of the cab is curved and the front of the bed is flat, so any gap will be accentuated.
there are also axle setback plates sold by jagsthat run that move the axle back 1/2", you can flip them and move the axle forward that 1/2"

I like the idea of just pushing it back an inch haha. I'll make up for it somewhere when doing the running board mounts. Right now I'm just getting bed height set with some custom mounts so I can still slide back and forth to get the "twist" out of the bed corners and align the wheels.
Thanks for the sanity check
