Rim diameter question

[cypressbog]

Anyone know if Chevy used 17.5" one piece rims on 1 ton trucks in 1968?

The camper edition is known as the Custom Camper during the 67-72 era. Many of these trucks are found without the original period correct wheels since tire sizes change over time and non commercial tire shops don't like to work on 2 piece rims. It should have came with 16" 2 piece wheels. There were also optional 16.5",17", 17.5" and 19.5" wheels during 67 and 68.If it is a 20 series 3/4 ton with 8 lugs, all period correct rims will have clips for hubcaps.There were also aftermarket period 16.5" wide base wheels made for the camper market that were usually installed on back axle, since front axle weight problems were never and issue. So, it pretty much depends what your after, a period correct vehicle or not. If you are not concerned about an authentic period look, most people today would put on very plentiful 16" one piece wheels (bump type) from the 80's
