Tires???

[CVA59]

As some of you know i am building a 61 Apache that will be 100% stock and original. I will soon be getting my original wheels painted the correct color. I have a couple questions.

1. What was the original size tire and whitewall width? The first pic of my Grandads truck (see thread) shows the tires when it was new. This is what i am after to duplicate.

2. Is there an alternate place other than Coker to buy these period correct tires? I'm not knocking Coker but i just cannot afford 700.00 for a set of these. The 17" tires on my 08 didn't cost that much, LOL.

3. If any of you guys spot these hubcaps for sale please give me a shout. I am looking for a good set chrome or painted.


Thanks guys.
