C-20 on 19's!! (not what you think) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**JQ-72** · 06-04-2008, 12:27 AM

I drug this one in a few days ago. Check out the wheels! Actually they are 19.5" . Look at the difference between the wheels on the truck compared to the 15's on my trailer!! I think they are the Kelsey wheels and were available in the 60's and 70's. I was told this was a government truck. It had 350, 4 speed and NoSpin (locker type rear end). She's pretty much stripped and ready for the crusher. I did keep the wheels. Are they worth anything??

MisterE72 · 06-04-2008, 12:32 AM

Just 0.5" more and you'da had 20's

.My dads old van had 16.5.

original_balzer · 06-04-2008, 12:48 AM

About how wide would you guess them to be?
Ill give ya a dollar for them and the bed.

semperfidoordie · 06-04-2008, 12:50 AM

Do you make money off sending it to the crusher or no?

chevy72blu · 06-04-2008, 12:52 AM

Those are just screaming for a few coats!

67_C-30 · 06-04-2008, 06:52 AM

If you decide to sell them, please let me know. I have a set of 19.5 dually wheels off of one of these trucks, but I've never seen a 19.5 singles. I happen to have a nice set of 19.5 tires that would look great on them, and I'm in driving distance!

**special-K** · 06-04-2008, 07:22 AM

I love the traditional sizes from when a truck was a truck.How about the 8-hole dual wheels in 19.5?Purdy dang kewl!!

1bad chevy · 06-04-2008, 08:32 AM

what's the fender's on the bed they in good to fair shape

**jerry moss** · 06-04-2008, 10:31 AM

not sure if this is a true story or B.S.. many years ago a state worker was checking some salinity moniters on the property i was working on and his old 1/2 ton 69? chevy had some oddball sized rims--17.5s i think-- and he said the government used the weird sizes so the employees wouldn't steal the tires for their personal vehicles. i guess the govt had them specially made ????

*Shane* · 06-04-2008, 03:01 PM

what's the inner front fenders look like?

Ol'Rover · 06-04-2008, 03:06 PM

you kept the rest of the truck too right? please tell me you did?

Orange · 06-04-2008, 03:14 PM

Chrome 'em and run 'em!

exmonkeypunk · 06-04-2008, 03:41 PM

Should be outlawed to crush classic vehicles.

**special-K** · 06-04-2008, 04:10 PM

I`d say the wheels are worth something to the true restorer.They are just the right touch for a certain type of truck.Also,on a truck that came with them originally,there`s a good chance they are long gone.So,for the correct restoration they are a necessity.
I know you saved that No-Spin,right?If you did and consider selling let me know,please.
UPS trucks,which were built on GM chassis forever,ran these wheels as well as 292s.The bodies are what were custom-built.

**JQ-72** · 06-04-2008, 06:06 PM

Crushed it today!! Looks like I'll have some people mad at me, but here's the deal - I paid $250 for it (no motor or trans). I pulled the NoSpin guts out, column, and wheels off and it crushed for $354. It did not have any good sheet metal on it worth keeping, in my opinion. I've gotten to where I do not keep sheet metal unless it's near perfect. It's too much trouble to store and haul big parts around to swap meets - especially here lately, no one's buying anything!!

Special-K - I'm keeping the NoSpin for my 1 ton project.
67 C-30 - I'll keep you in mind - not sure what I'm going to do with the wheels yet.

Thanks.
Before I put the duals on my C-30 I had the reversed dually wheels on there running them as singles, and I've wanted a single wheel 1 ton since. Those would be perfect for me since I alraedy have the new 19.5" tires.

Ol'Rover · 06-04-2008, 05:56 PM

ide kinda like those stepside fenders...*cough* if you have them and are thinking of selling, contact me. ill make a trip in the summer.

Ol'Rover · 06-04-2008, 06:12 PM

if you only gave us more time!!! noooooooo!

**special-K** · 06-04-2008, 08:54 PM

Don`t worry about bad karma or anything about scrapping that.That already happened with the blue tailgate.

I have faith that if you junked it,it was junk.

Brad · 06-04-2008, 11:30 PM

That last truck needs saw blades or knives coming out from the axle. You could name it 006.

stllookn · 06-05-2008, 12:14 AM

Talk about odd ball sizes...in '68 they offered 15, 16, 16.5, 17, 17.5, 18, and 19.5 inch diameter wheels. Those 19.5's are just too cool...I'd powder coat'em and run'em!
