Cavebull Shop Shark C Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 451 Corpus Christi, Texas	I emailed a "BillyBob" and cannot for the life of me find the wheel add again. I told him it was Cavebull from Stovebolt so I know I saw the thread on here. I saw 16" steels, 6 lug, and believe they were blue(?). Big thing they had 8 slots and clips for hub caps. They were unusual to me as I see 4 slots most often, or smoothies. Are these not a Chevy wheel? If so what year so I can start looking specifically. Any leads to this BillyBob? I cant believe I did not reply via the thread. At a loss here any assistance is appreciated.

They are for the Task Force.... 56 thru 59 and are difficult to find. 3 clip 16" Last edited by FootStomper; 01/21/2016 1:05 AM. ~~ Darcy 1959 GMC 9310 Canadian- built Shortbox Fleetside Deluxe FootStomper In the Stovebolt Gallery In the Project Journals Forum
