Truck looks good. You have Spoke Wheels also known as Dayton's. There is a good percentage out there that prefer Dayton's, myself included.

I believe there are some conversion kits out there, but I also believe they are pretty expensive. I would keep the Dayton's. They will look good repainted.

Keep us posted on your project.

They make single piece 22.5" dayton wheels that will bolt to your hub. I believe Wheelsnow makes them.
Makes me want to tear into my firetruck but the babies and farm come first.
