The last couple days I have pulled off the passenger side wheels, chiseled the 50 year old rubber (possibly stone?) off of them, cleaned, painted, and installed new tires. Left the patina on the outside, but the insides were in great shape, and the three piece wheels are super nice to work with!
This side looks tough now that it has tires! Makes you appreciate just how big these 1.5 ton trucks are, not a small truck you’re used to seeing when you think of a 50s truck.
Looks tough! Now for the other side… then it’ll be a roller and easier to move around to work on!
