Hi Guys,

I am in the process of replacing the wheels and tires on my 58 2ton. In taking off the duals there was nothing between the duals. I am putting on new powder coated wheels. Should they just be put back on like the old wheels with no material between them? For some reason and I don't know why it seems odd just to bolt the wheels on directly against each other. Is that the way they all are?

thanks,

Harrydale

yes, that's the way, nothing to disintegrate and let the studs or nuts loosen

....perhaps a "paper gasket" like they used to put between the wheel and axle? Just a thought. I don't think that would cause any problem.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

Paper will get wet and stay wet causing rust. I vote for putting nothing between them, it worked for the first 50 years...
