Vintage Stock Steelies

Anyone know off hand the size of the early Chevy truck wheels? I have a chance to pick up a set off a 1951 and wonder if they'll fit my 66 with no issues. Thank you.

That's as far back as I can go. They'll fit but they won't be very wide. Bolt pattern is 6 stud on 5 1/2" centers.

some p/u early 50's had 15". anyway car 6 hole were 15" and would fit p/u/ I can
remember having 16's and we were always looking for 15" so that we could pop them apart and reverse the rim and put baldies(hub caps)

Re: Vintage Stock Steelies

I Kick my self now but this past weekend I was at LQK junkyard and they had the 50% off sale. I found a set of 5 lug steelies off a 72 C10. I could have gotten them for $3.50 each. My truck is still 6 lug so I just pasted on them but now wish I would have got them for the back burner.
