I saw a thread somewhere here that talked about how to identify widowmakers... can someone please direct me to the correct thread?
Looking at my rear duallies, they have rivets in the outside rears (I don't know about the fronts or inside rears... should I be okay with airing the tires up to say.. 36-40psi, once I get it running and drive it down to my local auto-glass shop?35 mph is the top speed from here to there, so I wouldn't be going fast, or hauling anything. I hear that this glass shop in town can do flat pane glass. but if it's curved, no.. but since all the windows in my truck need replacing.. I plan on taking it down to them so they can give me a quote.

Look in the big bolt forum, a few threads down from this one is another thread labeled RH5-s.. also, there is a tech tip on them... look at the "split rim" section https://www.stovebolt.com/techtips/wheels/ | | |
