Thanks

The wheels fit great with a 1/4" spacer but I would have to change the front wheel studs. Now that I've found the correct studs, the hubcap clips I ordered do not fit my 3/4 ton.
I'm to the point that I'm about ready to give up. The only option is to have Stockton Wheel take my hubs and weld them to a modern rim. The problem is they want $105 plus shipping for each rim. Seems like a lot.
Email me if you need more help. However, there doesn't appear to be a reasonable solution. Believe me...I've researched it pretty hard. | | |

It is expensive, and I am not criticizing them because it take a lot of time, precision machining and somebody that really knows what they are doing. The hubcaps are another issue. Some owners use the white rims with the red stripe and spokes, that are made for trailers. I understand that the back spacing on those will work. | | |
