The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts 19.5 Radial rims for 1939 1 1/2 ton

Has anyone put 19.5 radial rims on a '39 ton and a half with a 10 lug dual rear? I haven't had any luck finding new bias ply tires. I don't know much about rims but measuring my bolt holes center to center it looks like 7 1/4 inches.

I do hate to lose the look of the bias plys but the truck is not winning any concourse shows with the 6v alt and rustoleum paint job.
Any help is appreciated

5/10 on 7.25” is correct. Modern 19.5” tires are similar in OD to original 20” tires. Just make sure 19.5 tires do not have too many plies.

I have found several 19.5 wheels with that bolt pattern, often in odd places.

Libby007 Nothing wrong with a rustoleum paint job !! We once had one so rusty we sanded with floor sanging paper ,then just primedd it white. I think we sold out for 650$ and got an 82 stepside . Then honed it into a college mobil with pretty slick custom tail,his sound system would blow the neighborhood away !!
