The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts Source for replacement wheels?

I've been kinda looking around to see if I could find any additional wheels for my '50 4100 and I just can't seem to find any. There isn't even any on eBay. My truck has 20" 3-piece wheels on it, 10-lug. All 6 appear to be original to the truck and are matching design. So far I have only broken one of them down, it's not in pristine condition, but it is still usable. I'm just worried the odds are against me as far as all 6 of them being 'usable' is concerned. Since they are 3-piece design, they are a little safer, I just can't tell how badly the other 5 might be rusted inside. I picked the worst-looking one to start with and it turned out to be not so bad once I got it apart. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Can you still buy these types of wheels new? Or at least a similar wheel? If so, where can you get them?

Mechanic,

There is a really excellent tech article here on the forum that discusses the wheel and tire options for these trucks. You can find it here: Wheels and Tires Tech

Hope that helps!

I'm not aware of any "new" wheels just like the originals, better used is about all you can hope for.

Yeah, I am aware of the wheel thread. There's a lot of good information in it, just none that pertained to my question here.

Anyway, I did finally get all my wheels broke down. I was very pleasantly surprised to find them all in relatively good condition. Pretty much confirms my suspicion that this truck spent the majority of the last 40 years stored under a roof. Some of the wheels even still had the original black paint on the inside. I was shocked to see that. The very worst one is really still in good shape. I'd still like to find a couple spares though. My wheels are Firestone AR's. 20x5.
