Road side tire service The 15" multi-piece rims on the rear are a mystery at this point. GMC only offered 16" rims on the 3/4 ton in the dual wheel configuration. Anyone have any ideas on what or where they might be from?

The fronts and the spare are all the 15" multi-piece single rims that you mention.
Based on the ID tag gross weight (6500), I'm pretty sure the duals are not original to the truck. The overload springs are also a completely bolt on arrangement.
