Looking for two 17.5 wheels with the clips for 3/4 ton caps like these. These are on a 67 I bought, not sure if they are original to the truck. Thanks, Sharpie

I saw a set of these at Pick-a-part the other day but they we on a 65 or 66 3/4 truck-I would think they would be the same-if you can find out let me know and I could help you get them. PAP sells any rim 16" or bigger for 35.99 +tax with or without tire( that sucks because years ago they were always $9 rim only) anyways my zipcode is 91739 and you know what they weigh so let me know if you want me to pursue it. Steve

Hi Steve, that would be great. I've never seen these on a 67/68 but the truck has 5.13 gears so it needed all the help it could get! Sharpie

into69z · 12-30-2010, 12:24 AM

Hey i just thought about it-can you still get rubber for these wheels? I can go in the am to check it out-Steve

*sharpie1972* · 12-30-2010, 10:39 AM

Looks like there is still some pretty good rubber for 17.5 wheels. Most of the choices are heavy duty like 19.5 tires. Sharpie

**JDL** · 12-30-2010, 07:04 PM

I know a guy that had some

into69z · 12-30-2010, 10:28 PM

Sharpie1972-I checked the wheels today and they are 19.5 not 17.5-sorry i'll keep my eye open

*sharpie1972* · 12-30-2010, 10:31 PM

19.5's? Were they dual wheels? Split rims? Thanks for checking, Sharpie

into69z · 12-30-2010, 11:02 PM

no they look to me just like your 17.5's.....I guess it gives a new meaning to Bigs and littles if you put them on! Check these pics

*sharpie1972* · 12-31-2010, 12:08 AM

Wow! those are cool. I'd love to have the set if we could make it work. Thanks, Sharpie

*sharpie1972* · 01-29-2011, 10:10 AM

Any 17.5's out there? Sharpie

rich67 · 01-29-2011, 10:21 AM

how do you find these wheels sharpie?! hell i thought they only made splits back then! all i can find.

67chevy1series · 01-29-2011, 10:25 AM

hey sharp the hub cap in the pics is that one of the ones i sent you? its always nice to see things after you have them

*sharpie1972* · 01-29-2011, 10:27 AM

Hi Rick, sure is. Looking for a few more nice ones if you come across any.
Thanks, Sharpie

ironhill · 01-29-2011, 11:31 AM

Hey Sharpie pretty sure I have one

*sharpie1972* · 01-29-2011, 11:44 AM

Cool. Let me know. Thanks, Sharpie

ironhill · 01-29-2011, 12:06 PM

Hey I do have one, wish I had 2 for you. It was being used as a spare on my 68.

**special-K** · 01-29-2011, 02:05 PM

Both the 17.5s and 19.5s were options from back a good ways up through these trucks...at least. I helped a guy restoring a '68 K/20 that had,I think,the 19.5s and creeper gears. UPS ran them on their trucks for years. If you see any still around,look on GM StepVans.

cheyenne shortstep · 01-30-2011, 09:52 PM

I've got two that I'm pretty sure are the same as yours. Took them off a '59 3/4 ton Napco 4x4 I had, not sure if they were correct for that truck.
