I bought these from Special k in Carlisle. Just wanted to know what there off of. 16 inch two are more domed outward like to clear a hub or axle . Look much better on my truck than the 80's wagon wheels.

Were also used on 1 ton duallys in about 1973 onwards,mainly on Camper Specials.

I was leaning towards that. C30 and the deeper ones would be for the front.

They came on Big Dooleys and Motorhomes. Do the taller ones are for clearing the front Budd wheels and the shorter ones are for the rear dual wheels that alteady protrude a lot (and no clearance issues. I had 16.5 ones on a '78 Camper Special and never noticed the difference. But I removed those to run simulators not long after buying the truck. Funny, I didn't really like them on the '78, but I like them on your truck. Can I get those back from you?

ps: Thank you for showing me all my upper moldings are actually shortbed pieces. All these years and I never measured or held them up to my truck and assumed they were longbed. Sorry for getting your hopes up.

I think they look good on the Dooley. I have two pair of them. One set Chevy and one set GMC. My train of tho’t is to put the Chevy’s on the rear and then cut the center out of the GMC’s and install them on the front of my 83 4x4 Dooley. I’m not really sold on the simulators right now. They look good on the three quarter ton also.
