Nothing wrong with tubes in the tires. Just a touch harder to install the tubes for the tire guy. Split rims were bad because they would sometimes get installed wrong and fly apart when filled with air, injuring or killing someone.And it Depends on what you are going to use the truck for. If you foresee yourself going to the local classic car get together at the drive in restaurant, Thats one of the first things they look for. Original tires and wheels. But new radial tubeless tires/rims will ride and handle much better. Most of the older rims have rivets holding them together with an interference fit and were not always air tight, everyone used tubes to keep the air from leaking. And the are meant for narrower bias ply tires that are harder to get..
