Hi,Frank! Brakes and tires are the most expensive/essential elements in getting your truck road-worthy. you may be lucky,and have "SAFE" rims,but I THINK the majority of the 6-hole,6-bolt "Big Bolt" rims are Firestone "Widow-Makers". If that's the case,you may have a time trying to find a set that fits,or changing the hubs,to adapt the 10-hole,10-lug rims. If I bought that '55 T.F. L.C.F.,I'd adapt it to the frame of an'87 Brigadier,equipped with a 3408 Cat/10-speed Fuller/Rockwell 2-speed rear. The "Brig" is already set-up to pull a gooseneck,along with electric/air trailer brakes,(depending on the trailer). This will make the truck much more efficient,(better brakes,22.5 Radials,higher road speed,better fuel economy. It doesn't hurt to dream,but the "Brig" is only $2,000!! This could happen!! Now to win the "Lottery"...

It takes an awful big dog to weigh a ton.
