| | | | Joined: Dec 2009 Posts: 8 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Dec 2009 Posts: 8 | I recently got a 1938 GMC, after getting it home & checking it out, I noticed it has a 6 lug front axel & an 8 lug rear axel. The previous owner thinks it came that way from GMC. It also has 2 spares, one of each bolt pattern. Anyone else ever seen any trucks like this? GROUP911
