For the springs some folks have found them on eBay, I believe you need a GM part number for that but I don't know how you would get that. Regarding converting to the wheel conversion I have no idea. I think I'd be looking for a parts truck. My advice is to stick with the daytons and look for some 22.5 rims. I'm told they will bolt right on to the center you have. The problem with the 19.5 is the tire selection is extremely limited. Most of them are small diameter which further reduces top speed.

More knowledgable folks may chime in with better advice.

The GM parts book has them in group 5.026 . You'll have to do some homework to find the right one for your application.

Neat old rig! Raybestos has a pretty good catalog that covers older medium duty trucks. You'll have to look under General Motors, the GMC listings usually don't show many model numbers.
