52 Carl -
When you changed to the radials, did you use radial tubes or tubes at all? I have a 54 with 16" rims. They look like they have a lip where the tire would seal but Universal and Coker tire reps say I need a radial designed to be used with a radial tube. (Big sales pitch - blowing smoke?) The reps say the rim design changed in 55 to a different rim lip. Any additional info would be appreciated.
The radial tires were already on the rims when I bought the truck. They have tubes of unknown origin, so I am driving on borrowed time until I make some time to demount them, fix the rusty valve stem holes, and take out the tubes, and put the raised white letters on the inside.
