Artillery wheels were standard on the 3/4 ton trucks up through 1939 (maybe
'40). The inner disc of the wheel has a series of "spokes" attaching to the
rim, different from the 1/2 ton wheel with 4 wide attachment points. They
are hard to find and highly sought after by the "older" truck folks. $300
for a set of 4 would not be a bad price.
Hope this helps. I may have a pix. E-mail off list if you want a picture.
If you buy the trucks and don't want the wheels, e-mail again!
