Hello Ed,
I won't make them personally, but I am trying to find a company in the US that will if there is enough interest; otherwise, I will be forced to go overseas... Why 16"? Because that was one of the military sizes available during the war and I like them... I also like the 18" with 10 joining bolts, but the bigger the tire the more expensive the tire, which brings me here:
https://www.stovebolt.com/ubbthread...rest-new-10-50-16-tires.html#Post1351334The 16" wheels would fit the US spec 1.5 ton trucks and smaller trucks (3/4 & 1 ton) potentially... The Canadian wheel with a 4-7/8" backspace fits both models. Now keep in mind that the US 1.5 ton trucks have different specs, so the backspaces will have to be changed to accomodate the wheels... Attached you can see a US spec 1.5 ton truck with modified backspaces and new 16" solid wheels fitted... And with the correct 10.50-16 tires, it would match the original height of the 6.50-20 tires and wheels but look much better...
