Not absolutely sure yet but I believe this is a "1941" BigBolt. Original plate in place and lists Model CC 303, Serial# 3095 with a gross rating of 12,000LBS. Upon breaking down the six rock hard tires I found that one rim is narrower than the others. All rims have five holes. Rear axle is floating with clamshell pumpkin. Required rim measures 22-1/2" at the largest diameter of the wheel, and measures 7-3/8 wide not counting offset center boltplate protrusion. These rims all appear to be originals in comparison to photos of exact same truck. The oddball rim differs only in width meaduring out at 4-3/4" wide.
Curious to learn more than I found on this sight as there are no functional photo links or photos that reference the rims, particularly what is the narrow rim designed for? Were all six rims originally of matching design, and size? If not, and they originally varied among the three placements; steer, load duallies, or underchassis spare, what would be the correct rim size by location. Thanks all! Call or text Peter at cell# (714)290-2470 and I can text or email you pics immediately!

Don't know if you've been on the Big Bolt forum yet or not. If not, check that out. There are threads there pertaining to wheels and tires, etc. You may find the info you're looking for. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2017 Posts: 14 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Apr 2017 Posts: 14 | Yes, I have read up there but as there seem to be no pictures attached to any discussion threads it was not helpful. I tried to post this in parts wanted as that is the purpose of the post. I will try again. I need to identify my existing rims, to buy one alike.

If you are wanting to buy you need to make that clear to prevent confusion. I read your post several times trying to figure out what you really wanted and what to do with it. Here's how to post images.
