To all old heavy truck owners,
I had reported that newer chevy 3500HD trucks had 10 lug rims that
appeared to have the same size pattern as the older larger Chevy trucks.
I have since stopped at a dealer and measured one and it measures the
same to me.
I was mistaken though when I said they were 16" rims, they are not, they
are 19.5" rims.
Chevy has used this bolt pattern for several years now on its straight
axle heavy duty 1 tons, mostly on box trucks and mini school busses. I
would think it wouldn't be too hard to come up with some from a truck
junk yard!
