Hi all,
my '52 GMC 640 has 10 lug "motor" wheels as opposed to the web type
"dayton" wheels or the larger "budd" wheels. All of these were options
on the medium bigger GMC's. Big Big GMC's I belive were just dayton or
budd. Many School busses still use the "motor" type wheels.
I have no honking clue as to the 5 lug except that I've seen a furd with
5 lug "motor" wheels, and GMC did make a lot of military stuff, maybe
it's a switchout.
