Hello everyone! I’m new here. I have always wanted an old truck to play with and to remind me of my good old days as a kid driving grain in Colorado. My son gifted me with a ‘50 6400 flatbed( old grain truck with dump) I’ve got her running good. I need a radiator and tires. Radiator is on the way.
Curious about tires the old ones are bad. I assume the wheels are the Rh-5? Widow makers. Can they be used in Florida? Should I use them with tubes? Or find a replacement wheel. After reading the forum, I think they are budd wheels? I don’t know if they are stud piloted of hub piloted. Does Accuride make a replacement wheel that I can use. I have looked but since I am a “newbie” in the old truck world I don’t really know what to look for.
I’d appreciate any help I can get, please?
I am a building contractor. I plant to work this truck once in a while just to prove it can still be done! I can’t wait! It might be the coolest gift I’ve ever received!
