Thanks again Buoy Maker. You have given me some ideas regarding my delimma, and stock wheels. The problem is many of us our age took the old 16" wheels off and junked them in the 60" and seventies. So many of us were looking for 15's and wide tires for our hot rods. And we tossed away what now is a classic item. I think I read somewhere that the GM 16" wheels was used in millions of domestic trucks and military use. The last I found out was 16 million but, it could be more. When one is young and full of zip and vinegar we don't think anything about restorations in the future. Dang, my bad. I did restore a 42 Chvey Delux coupe in 1967 but because of vacuum shift and 216 engines I sold it for nothing. If I can make the right length out of spring steel I may be able to get the new 1954 Chevy truck hub caps to work. The 16" wheels that I have on it now don't affect the steering very much. I was used to driving tractors and hard steering trucks and cars without power steering so, it's not a big deal. Please let me know if you can find some 54 original wheels and it make this old guy's life a little easier. Thankyou again for you input. Doc
