Looks like the front had eight lugs... I was under the impression that 3100's had 6 lugs? I am counting eight with the five and three shaved off can anyone shed some light on this for me, thanks

Photos in earlier posts look like a 3100, but there is no side shot of the bed (the 3600 bed is longer than the 3100 bed).
6 lugs on 3100 wheels and 8 lugs on 3600 wheels.
Do front and rear wheels have 8 lugs?

Do front and rear wheels have 8 lugs? The rear was swamped out with a 1968 chevelle, it has five

Could you be seeing this? I think you are right......still strange that it only has five, I guess the front end could have been changed as well

That is the hard part is figuring out what vehicle was used....the drum has the anti squeak springs aroud the outside, strange but at least the front and rear match...I am finding more and more of this truck that is not original...it is making this fun. Everyday I work on something and it is an adventure!
