It is missing the d/s front wheel and is a 5 lug 20" wheel. Would I be limited to finding a 5 lug, or would a 10 lug work using every other hole for a nut? The spacing is 4" CD from one lug to the next & 7" CD across from one to the third one, skipping one, if that makes any sense. (It always sounds better in my head & loses something in translation when it comes out my fingers). Just need something to help load onto the trailer & then I can get more specific about something correct when I get it home.
Thanks, Gary

On the steering axle they used every other hole. GM used this wheel from 55.2 and many years later on their 2 tons. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 25 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 25 | Thanks! I knew someone here would have the answer and come to the rescue.
Any idea where I could find one of the wheels like that relatively local-ish?
Thanks, Gary

Barn finds and junk yards in small towns are your best bet. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 1,159 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 1,159 | I have a spare that I can part with,(3-piece,NO RH5),for the cost of shipping.
