Hi all, I've got a 3/4 ton 54. Is there a rim that replaces the 8 bolt
split rims, available?
thanks

57 Chevy would have been a 12 Volt negative ground. 3600 indicates
3/4 ton. You should also have 8 bolt wheels. Yes, the 3600 is a
3/4 ton. The extra lever was a parking brake. This may have had
the parking brake on a separate drum on the tailshaft of the transmission,
don't remember if this started with 3/4 or 1 ton trucks.
All of these trucks had holes for a dealer installed accessory RADIO
(stereo FM hadn't been in use yet back then). The holes came from
the factory filled with removable blanks. Very few trucks had radios
back then, but they were starting to become popular.
