Interesting Dooley
Stumbled across this today while surfing eBay. It has newer/larger stock wheels on it and it's lowered, never seen this (the wheels) before on one of our trucks. Part of me likes it, part of me doesn't...but I can't put my finger on why for either.
Anyhow, thought you might find it interesting. ![]()

Re: Interesting Dooley
Hello all,
Very nice truck. Wheels are 19.5's, found stock on many P30 chassis trucks. Were available as an option on most 30 series models. Definitely set off any truck. I will be running these on my K30 when completed, only I have 33" tires for mine (245/70R19.5's; 14 ply, load range G). Already have two of the wheels. Anyone close have the other four ![]() Joe Schaefer |

Re: Interesting Dooley
What throw's me off the the solid orange dually fenders. It interupts the flow the white panel. Different paint would make the truck for me. I think I like the dimensions of the wheels.

Re: Interesting Dooley
I like it! If you think these are big,... go check out www.duallyscene.com. People have been running big wheels, (and 10-lug semi wheels) on these for awhile. They take 22.5" or 24.5" Alcoa wheels and turn the diameter down to 22" or 24" so they can run low profile tires. Also www.brentzwheels.com has been selling big 19" and 22" 8lug wheels for awhile. Again,... COOL truck!

Re: Interesting Dooley
I think that looks pretty sweet. Paint the fenders and you're good to go

Re: Interesting Dooley
I think it has a new owner now somewhere on the East coast. That's my new screensaver. I don't now why,... but I love that truck!

Re: Interesting Dooley
If it was mine i'd lift it up high and leave those 19.5's on there. Is that a 4 speed or automatic?

Re: Interesting Dooley
I would like to have it , the orange/white one . I wish he was closer . Thats just too far for me . If he was coser I would be trying to trade a rust free Buckskin shortbed for it . Frank

Re: Interesting Dooley
Jeff I think it's because it's a single cab. If it were a 3+3 it would look more balanced. Personally I think it rocks. The bigger wheels are awesome, and I even like them in white. A set of chrome simulators would look good on there too.

Re: Interesting Dooley
Or even better if it were a 3+3...
![]() The only thing I don't like about it is what's on the trailer. It would be SOOOPER *****in' with a nice swb or 2wd K5 back there.

They were an option for many years on 30 series trucks. However, they are quite rare on a pickup. Your best chance to find them is on an '80's-90's P30 chassis. You know, like a bread truck or UPS truck? The newer 19'5's are 10 lug, but there are 8-lug versions out there with the 4.5" center hole. Fit right on our trucks with no modification (as seen in the pics). Anyway, good luck in your quest. Joe Schaefer |

Re: Interesting Dooley
I like the larger dia. wheels. It definitely sets it apart from a stock truck. Maybe they are from a larger 2 ton, 3 ton,.... truck.
