The first year Chev. made a 3/4-ton was 1937. The 3/4-tons shared the 6-bolt axles and drums with the 1/2-tons until 1946 when they got the heavier 8-bolt parts that we now associate with 3/4-tonners. The standard wheel on the '37-'42 3/4 was the 15 x 5-1/2" artillery wheel which is highly valued today since it looks good and will take a modern 15" radial tire. This 15" wheel was an option on the 1/2 tons. Heavy duty 3/4 tons in those years came with an odd looking 17" wheel. Some earlier Chev. cars came with a narrow 16" artillery wheel which has very little value. I have never seen a 16" split rim artillery wheel. Can you maybe post a picture of the wheel in question?
