Are these factory 67-72 4x4 wheels? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

These deep offset 15x9-1/2" wheels were on the drum brake Dana-44 that is in my 69 4x4 conversion truck.

Can anybody tell me if these are factory wheels and what they belong on? I have never seen them before.

They are approximately 9-1/2" wide and have about a 3" backspacing.

I have never heard of an OEM wheel that wide on a 67-72 pickup.... they are most likely aftermarket.

They are aftermarket. The factory offered 8.25 x 16.5 6-lug wheels. All wide 15" wheels are aftermarket from pre-73. those look like the smoothie wheels that were ofter chrome and came with baby moons. see the inner nubs for hub caps? Ford used that way to hold them on. GM never did and Ford never made 6-lug.
