Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 212 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 212 | I am brooding on alternative Wheels/Rims for my 1960 P-20 Van.
I always like the look of the old 19.5 Wheels/Rims, and I understand they were a normal Drop-Center kind.
Were these Wheels/Rims used on 3/4 or 1 Ton Trucks?
Or only on the 3/4 ton and 1/2 ton models?
Or..? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 197 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 197 | 1/2 tons didn't have 19.5 wheels.
1 tons and 3/4 tons share the same bolt pattern, wheels, parts, etc (1/2 ton is six lug instead of eight).
19.5's are the tubeless equivalent for the 17" tube type, BTW.

I may just see if I can find a set of 1 Ton width 19.5s then. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | The 19.5 wheels are sharp on the step vans. The single wheels are hard to find though. The old Frito trucks used a lot of them. Original type hubcaps are practically impossible to find anymore. Often you can find good used tires as these motor home people replace them often.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 86 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 86 |

If you want to sell them, I might be interested to run them on my 1960 P-20 Van. Let me know? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 86 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 86 | Sorry, not for sale. They were common on 70s and 80s large Frito Lay and Bread trucks.
