BACKGROUND I live in Aiken, SC and recently restored a `50 Chevy 3100 (1/2 ton) Pickup. I want to keep the truck "stock" so I am looking for 4-5 "good / used" `50 Chevy Style Rims (15" x 5" - 6 lug) w/6 clips to mount the Chevy hub caps. I already have the Chevy hub caps and B.F. Goodrich 6:70 / 15 / 6 ply(via Coker)wide whitewall tires. QUESTION / SEARCH Your Southern Bolter Organization is in my backyard, so I hope one of you have or you know of someone who has good rims for sale. Thank You, Charles Burhans Aiken, SC 29803 (C) 908-239-9228 E-Mail: [email protected]

Now I have a '51, and 6 decent used 16'ers available.
Sorry my geographic location is not convenient, but maybe a "snowbird" up here is sick of this winter and willing to drive them down to you! | | | | | Joined: Dec 2010 Posts: 13 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2010 Posts: 13 | Hello NHluvstruck,
Thank you for your prompt reply and interest in helping me with my Chevy rim search.
As it turns out according to the Chevy P/U Shop Manual(`48 to `51) the 1/2 ton pick-up Model: 3100 could arrive at the Chevy dealership with two possible tire/rim configurations:
(1) 16" rims w/6.00-16-6 ply tires.... or .......
(2) 15" rims w/6.70-15-6 ply tires
In my case I have the 15" rims w/relatively new 6.70-15-6ply tires so I am stuck with finding "GOOD/USED" 15"X5" RIMS.
Thanks | | |
