Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: May 2012 Posts: 574 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2012 Posts: 574 | I have two of these rims that were on my '59 when I got it and was wondering if they came from the factory or were put on later, if not when would they have been produced, and are they worth keeping?

That's a subjective question , depends on who is interested in them . I just drove 100 miles to get a pair , I wish they had been closer , I also wish they had been cheaper , but I REALLY wanted them  | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 1,410 ODSS President | | ODSS President Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 1,410 | Just spent $225 to amass a set of 17". Yes worth keeping to trade, sell, barter or a start to your own set.

During those years, the 3/4 ton trucks use a six bolt pattern, same as 1/2 tons. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 2,074 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 2,074 | Those artillery rims in 15" have been the most sought after item for us truck nuts for many many years now. I'm just glad I picked up mine when they were relatively cheap. Now there are repops being sold, everybody want's them. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 583 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 583 | My 39 3/4 ton stake has the original 15" artillery rims, including the spare. They look great. The only draw back is they are a pain to clean. I've seen them on sale occasionally from $100-$250 a rim.
