Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs

Thanks bigredchevy.......it sort of reminded me of the old 50's chevy visors. I wonder what it would take to convert/section one of those. I think I might even know where one is. Like I said, I normally have a hate on for them...but if I could manage the old school look I might give it a shot.

Thanks again...

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs

KEEP THE WHEELS or CHANGE OVER?
OK Guys would you keep the wheels or would you change over to one ton?
If so WHY?
As far as changing tires. There are very few people who will change split rim wheels! They Run when I pull up. "Sorry INSURANCE will not let us change those" They call them Widow Makers"
DO I have any options on other rims that may fit this the way it is.
YES This is a serious question. I saw a solid ring (non split rim)that was on a Firetruck one time, but the guy knew nothing about where to get them and how to mount them.
I know some of you have more info for help on this one.

If that is a 10 lug pattern that comes on most 4500 and a up now days then any Alcoa wheel should work on them. Assuming it is a standard 18 wheeler wheel then look up those. Although from what I can see it looks like a 5 lug wheel.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs

Is there any way to convert the large 5 lug to the 10 bolt without adapters? Just curious for my own sake. Might wanna tackle one of these one day in the future...

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs

Your cheapest option Tallcrown is to switch axles from a Kodiak or similar truck. Those are dayton hubs you have and I doubt you'll find a non split rim to put the tires on. You might check school buses for axles and wheel parts. That will be your best bet on finding non split rims. Are your tires 22.5's?
