1977 Chevy C60 Dump Truck Split Rim Change Out
I have a 1977 Chevy C60 Dump Truck and I am wanting to change the split rim to a more modern style rim. The front rims are 10 lug split rim with 9.00x20 tire and the back set is a 6 lug with 9.00x20 tires. I guess someone change out the axle because everyone I have talk to said it should have been a 5 lug to a 10 lug or 10 lug to 10 lug. If anyone knows what modern tubeless rims fit let me know.

Re: 1977 Chevy C60 Dump Truck Split Rim Change Out
Something is seriously outta whack there. I am inclined to think the rear end has been swapped, wonder if you can find a more correct one at a wrecking yard. If you're lucky it will still have wheels on it. By the way there is a more correct section of the forum for this: Heavy Haulers

Back wheels look like RH5s off a rear axle from the 50s. You can replace them with deuce lock ring type, or 22.5s. May be best to swap out the rear end with something more modern.

Yeah, looks like you have some true "widowmakers" on the back.

Find a heavy duty C- 60 rear end with large Budd 10 lug pattern.Determine if proper ratio for your needs, then convert all wheels to very common 1 piece 22.5".
