Thanks for the replies. I'm asking because I have a set of four "wagon wheels" my Dad bought for this truck in the late 70's, and a set of 4 rally style wheels. The silver paint on the rally wheels is in great shape. I got all four of 'em for nothing, with tires that hold air. I also have a split rim that was the original spare tire on the truck, and it still has the original BFGoodrich tire on it, and it still holds air! The truck's all ready for an inspection sticker and license plates, but I gotta help pay for the insurance and tires.

I just did some work on the hood and the cab and will try to get some pics of it before I sand and primer it. Then I'm gonna pick up some 521 white and 506 dark olive from CarQuest and re-paint the whole truck. Gonna look sweet!

I just noticed I voted for the wrong rims.

Anyway, I'm going with the stock 8 lug rims and will get the tires mounted later on. Right now I'm using dogdish hubcaps from a late 70's, early 80's 3/4 ton truck just for the helluvit.

I have a set of caps for 73-87 1/2 ton's listed in the 73-87 parts forum if anyones interested.
