If you want to read more current info on the Big Bolt wheel and tire topic, use the Stovebolt Search link to find posts related to what you want to know more about. wink

On a slightly different note, while your looking through our "Legacy Tech Tips", you will find at least one on your previously mentioned topic on basic info about your "Dump Body".
Thank you sir. One thing I never stop doing is research. Since I first posted I've located a ton of info. Some here and some elsewhere.
The dump body and hydraulics (hoist) are Gar Wood model D6LU for the hoist and I believe C12 for the body. Gar Wood was apparently the inventor of the hydraulic dump bed. Very interesting reading.
Wheels were junk so that's a moot point now. Thanks for the tips though.
The seat that came with my new chasis is a rebuldable set up so I'm real happy about that. The frame and all the other parts besides fabric are going to be perfect for my resto.
