Eight years after I bought my ‘57 3200 I finally found a NAPCO setup for it. It’s a 3/4 ton set. Havent had much luck on wheels. I’ve only found one off road type tire for 17.5s and none for the optional 19.5s. Seen some references that later 16” 3/4 ton wheels have an issue with the TREs. I have a line on a set of ‘80s 16x6.5 wheels and was wondering if anyone knew if there’s a fitment issue on the NAPCO front axle?

What Ed said. Recently purchased 4 16x6.5 used originally on a 4x4 1992 GMC, fit like a glove. In this county if there was a difference there would be a bunch of Chevy's going shoe less. Doc.
