I have just purchased an early 1947 GMC dump truck. The truck has 5 of the original design 8 vent hole rims. I need one more wheel to make a full set, then I can break them down and get ready for powder coating. I will also be doing a full brake job. Should I try to stay with the original design brakes or update with a power brake booster? I am guessing that I should use 7.50 X 20 tires on the front and 8.25 X 20 on the rear? Does anyone have a Brownie box for sale? I hope to have the truck in operation, running, stopping and dumping soon, then I will tidy up the dinged up front fenders and grill.
