Hi Everyone,
Just got another truck home last night, '51 Chev 2-ton. Purchased it thru the Stovebolt classifieds. First thing I noticed as we wheeled it out of the trailer onto the loading dock was the 2 piece wheels. I understand from the posts here and also the article in the lastest Vintage Truck magazine that using these wheels is not a possibility. Is it possible to buy the other style wheels, meaning the ones with the split ring on the outer edge? I know I could also maybe purchase new wheels from Accuride. I've also read many posts about guys getting 19.5 motorhome wheels also. I'm not to the point with this truck that I'm sure how much money I want to spend yet, need to assess lots of things like will it even run. I do want the tires to hold air and also be safe to move around. What do you guys think is the most reasonable way to go? Anyone have a set of 6 split ring wheels they want to sell?
Thanks Don
