Buddy L Tires and Axles - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I found a Buddy L hydraulic dump truck from the 50s (I think) that is missing the back tires and axle. The seller only wants $25. The hydraulic bed works very well. It's in good shape except for the lack of rear tires. I was wondering if anybody knew where to get a set (2) of tires and an axle for a Buddy L on the cheap. Here's a picture of what the truck looks like (representational photo) and what the tires look like. I'm reluctant to spend $25 if I can't find the tires and an axle cheap enough to make some profit off of it.

Yes,those are remade. They were also used on the GMCs they made after those Internationals. If you want to change things up you can use wheels/tires from Tonka or other pressed steel trucks that scale
