I dropped the axles on my '42 1/2ton by 3 inches thinking (stupidly it seems) I could get 5 hole (put new brakes front and rear) 16" rims that would take the original hubcaps.
Does anyone know if there are any rims that will allow me to use 16" or even 15" rims that will let me use the original hubcaps? Any other suggestions/vendors would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Your best chance to use the original hubcaps is to have them modified to fit the more modern wheels. I had my hubcaps modified by Wheelsmith. As far as I am aware there are no vendors that make wheels like you're looking for.
