Listers:
Now for the question: which later model one-piece rims will fit the
larger AD (and TF?) trucks like the 2 and 2-1/2 tons??
Dave Q.
'52 Chev 1314 3-window half ton (acreage worker)
'50 GMC 9414 5-window one ton (which was the water hauler)
'53 Chev two ton (which is the new water hauler and which also needs
tires!!)
>From John Dorsey:

>The heavier split rims are what are called "center locks". The rim is in two

some and rust takes it's toll with age. I don't know of ANYBODY who
works on these anymore.<
>I would suggest getting some later model rims with lock rings or one piece

>>From Chris Dillon:
>>A friend of mine has a '54 2 1/2 Ton Grain Truck that had been run on a farm
>for a long time and the tires are all rotting and he wants to know what he can
>do about the split rims,<snip><<
