My intent is to keep this '60 truck as stock as practical. If it was good enough back then it's good enough for me now. I will try to find period-correct wheels if possible and go with the next closest option otherwise. The question is in this same year were there any other truck wheels available that were NOT widow makers?
The only non-stock option I have an idea for is maybe a davit style crane using the pto hydraulics to run a winch fed up through the center pipe for lifting. Truck has no bed now but will find a usable flat bed, I think wood decking is correct, or make a reasonable facsimile of one. This will be a working truck when complete, it's got to pull its own weight. Wheels are just another brick in the wall...
