I've been wondering if these are the original wheels? Photos that I've fond of other Apache / Task Force trucks do not have these three tabs. Is there any significance to the tabs? https://swenracer.smugmug.com/Trucks/59-Apache/i-p2Wb4RL/AThanks in advance for any help on this. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | Those wheels started appearing in the 1961 model year. The nubs hold the hubcap.

They were available in 15" or 16". The 6 clip version is from late 40's early 50's and are narrower do than the three clip. Three clip https://goo.gl/photos/NwRWRYFof5FFsj4w9
