Hy mikebrou, could you tell us the size of your truck or at least the number of nuts retaining each wheel? Merry Christmas.

Have you looked at either of these? Not sure if Artillery rims are correct on an AD. They likely have others in the same size and bolt pattern.

Six studs? You sure that it is not a 1/2 ton long box? GMC did make such an animal. A 3/4 ton would have 8 lugs.

A 1952 GMC 3/4 ton might be a different animal from a USA 3/4 ton GMC?

mikebrou,
- what is your model number?
- what is your engine? (do you think it is original?)

Here is some information from Rob English.

If it is a Canadian truck, probably engine SN, aft of distributor, does not start with displacement.
