Re: artillery wheels?

If using originals, be sure to carefully inspect them for any rust or damage. I believe these were last produced for the 1937-38 Chevy pickups, so they've normally seen a lot of hard use:



They are probably skinny too, perhaps a 4.5" - 5" rim width. Modern aftermarket replacements can be had with a variety of wider rims with safety beads to retain the tire should it go flat.
