I just bought a nice 1954 Chevy 3100 deluxe cab who I've named "The Mermaid". She's totally unmolested and runs like a dream and as far as I'm concerned I'll just do the basic work here and there and drive it as a fun truck around town...although I have put on a set of Fenton's and dual exhaust..couldn't resist!
I do need some information on new stock rims as she has both 16's and 17's on her, I'll search the forum or maybe someone has a good link?
Thanks!

The guys over in the Driveline Forum, or general truck forum may be able to answer some questions about Wheels.
Like the picture of your truck... nice.

I am partial to 1954 trucks. Mine are set-up like yours.
Look for 6.50x16" rims with hub cap clips and little rust on the "inside" (where the tires seal).
LT215/85R16 light truck radials work fine on those without tubes (if non-rusty wheels) or with tubes (if rusty wheels). | | | | | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 | welcome for Tx, very pretty truck would look great in my garage
