I also have a 52 Chevy parts truck that has wheels that are black. I'm thinking wheels could have been painted years ago by some previous owner? Not sure if this is of any help or not.

Light-green wheels with dark-green body was one combination. I think there might be information about this on Rob English's (pre-'60) GMC website: www.oldGMCtrucks.com 1950 1.5 & 2 ton photo from sales brochure | | |
