How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs

Years ago when I was just out of high school, i worked for a company that made dump trucks. If I remember right, we use to convert those to bud style wheeld?hubs. Which would let you bolt up regular 10 bolt semi rims. Might try a search for converting from dayton to bud hubs.

Sweet looking rig by the way

My Wheels are presently 20" . I was just thinking that if I find NON SPLIT rims. Wow Truck tires like this are really heavy duty. Not like a car tire where they have flex and could be mounted on a regular machine.
Has anyone else run into being turned away from tire shop for having split rims?

I used to repair and change out those tires/rims. Definetly death machines. Those rings come loose and you had better run for cover. We used a metal cage and had them chained into it when the tires were aired up. Seen a few get bat$hit crazy. I know here they are illegal to use on the smaller 1 ton older trucks now. Won't pass a safety.

They're soon to be out lawed on heavy duty commercial trucks in the US as well. I hate doing them. If yours are 20" I'd at least call a bus junk yard or something like that to try to swap hubs out. From what I know of those 20" Dayton hubs on those years GM medium duty trucks, you're going to need to just swap axles. I could be wrong though.

this is my dads old work truck, 12 years later and you can still pick of the concrete and tar. i can thank this truck fro getting into older trucks in the first place. its not mine but one day i would grab hood and top grill trim peice for it and get a few patch pannels for it. i would also take off the one running board ha
