The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Artillery Wheels - dates of manufacture?

Hi All,

Does anyone know the years that the artillery wheels were manufactured? Are all of the years the same? I'm looking at getting some off of a 36, but I don't know if they are original. I'd like to put them on a 40.

Thanks,
B

The 1936 wheels originally were 17" came with spokes also, but the later 16s or 15s could have been swapped. The most popular artilleries were 39 to 46 +/- and were the 15". I've found these on lots of trucks that had the same 6 lug pattern.

I found some 16" artilleries on late 30s Olds sedans, but I don't think any trucks came with 16s. As long as they are 6 lug, you should be fine.

The 36 GMC 1/2 ton came stock from the factory with 16 X 4 1/2 inch Kelsey Hays artillery wheels.

I have one 16" if you want it. It has slots all the way around instead of the four cutouts. I'll send a picture if you like. Reply to [email protected] if you have questions.
