19.5" wheels off of a step van.
I would like them for my 52 1 ton truck, but the drive to get them sucks. I am running 8R19.5" tires now with newer axles, but these wheels would work with my original axles. | | |

Came off a bread truck. They are not duals. They have clips and my stock hubcaps popped right on. All the 16.5, 17.5, and 19.5 wheels I've seen are one piece.

do you have the large fenders? Are your tires tube types? This seems to be a rare find. | | |

My Chevy came with 17" wheels but I couldn't find inexpensive 17" tires to replace the old rotten ones. I was at the local tire shop one day and they were clearing out used and oddball tires. They had real nice used Bridgestone 8R19.5's for $25.00 a piece. So I went home to make sure the 19.5 wheels fit the Chevy. Then hightailed it back to town to get the tires! The 19.5's are just a little taller than the stock 17's plus they are tubeless radials. and the Chevy hubcaps fit too! I like the tall skinny look of these tires. I've found other 19.5 single too for my Powerwagon without clips. Two were made by Budd, one is marked Firestone and the other two are Kelsey-Hayes. I might be able to get some more 19.5's with clips if anyone is interested.

These aluminum bodied trucks had a long life. They used them for 10-20 years & many are still around. There are good bargains on used tires because the motor home people replace them when they get a little worn.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | |
