It will have 18 inch tires and 5.14 rear gears.
I have two GMC 250's and love them.
1955 1st GMC Suburban | 1954 GMC 250 trailer puller project | 1954 GMC 250 Hydra-Matic | 1954 Chevy 3100 . 1947 Chevy COE | and more...
It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 | Thanks for the info it has been sitting 5-years but was a "running when parked" looks like I can close on it for $400 I am just waiting to hear if they will accept my offer they want it gone before winter. Will the 18" tires fit on the bigger trucks? If I part it I may save the set for slave wheels since they hold air.

Looks like a nice truck, is it so bad that it deserves to be parted out?
As far as I know, the 18" wheels only fit the dual wheeled one tons.
