Also keep in mind there is much more involved in the brake system, tires and wheels than on a lighter duty truck of the same era. I have a rough 1959 Viking 60 and cannot afford to replace the tires and wheels because they would cost double what I paid for the truck. I bought my truck for a job on my property which it has already accomplished. If I had not needed the truck, I would never have purchased it.
Maybe someone else can verify, but those look like Firestone RH-5 rims (same as mine). That would mean they need replacing ASAP due to safety reasons. That is part of my problem!
I don't blame you for being interested in it, that's a nice looking truck. The cab looks to be in much better condition than mine!!
