Re: 16 inch 5 lug wheels?

I've seen 16" - 6 lug, but I don't know if they were even stock? Are you sure they aren't 6 lug?

Yep, I know about the 16" 6 lug, but this truck of mine is 5 lug. It even has a spare 16" 5 lug wheel/tire in the back.

I got a chance to do a little poking in the 1972 Chevrolet restoration pack, and found that ordering the 5400 GVW package required either H78-15B tires or 6.50-16C tires, as well as power brakes and 1550 lb front springs and 2000 lb rear springs.
I suppose that this truck could be a heavy half-ton, and that most people would have ordered a 3/4 ton? I will have to check the GVW tonight too.

Re: 16 inch 5 lug wheels?

My friend Mike had a 72 short bed with 5 lug 16" wheels on it too. They are the only 5 lug ones I have ever seen.

What are you going to do with this one Chris??
I am on vacation for 2 weeks starting Monday, give me a call when you have some free time!
