We just aquired a nice 55 (1st series I believe as it looks like a 54) 4400. It's in remarkable shape for the age. My question is about the tires. It's got trashed 750-20 's on it now. But, I really don't want to stay with tube tires and rims. Anyone have experience or advice about converting to tubeless?
Thanks. I am brand new to this forum and to these trucks, too. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 323 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2005 Posts: 323 | What bolt pattern? I'd guess 5 lug front, and 10 rear? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 15 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 15 | Yes, exactly right. 5 hole front 10 hole rear. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | .

I just did a quick speed read of your article you linked to and it's excellent. I am going to read it slow and careful and I am sure it will answer my questions.
Thanks for writing it and thanks for pointing it out. I appreciate it.

Grigg | | | | | Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 15 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 15 | Ok, we wrestled with what to do and finally decided to stick with stock. Our wheels were in great condition - just the tires and tubes were shot. So, we decided to stick with the stock 7 50- 20's. They may not be the best tires on the road, but they are true to the truck.
Thanks to all who offered advice, especially to Grigg who wrote an excellent article. | | |
