Re: 6 luggers
thanks Aero, that is a great answer and reference. So, I see that 16" wheels were in fact available on C10s. The first pictures refer to "disk" wheels, but that is a reference to the center section "disk" of the wheels, I believe, not disk brakes. I know you probably realized that too, but it still leaves one question unanswered - will a 66 C10 16" wheel fit over an 11" disk brake setup?
Thanks again Aero - that is extremely helpful. From the pics, it would appear the 16" wheels still have the taper on the inner rim that is the same reason the 15"ers don't work with disk brakes. Just wonderin if anyone has done stock 16"ers with disk brakes (i.e. does the added diameter allow a switch to disk brakes without interference?) - and also wondering if the stock C10 hubcap (that fits on a 15" wheel) will also fit on the 16". I believe(?) it will - it's the 3/4 tons that move up to a bigger dia hub cap i believe. Thoughts??? |

Re: 6 luggers
Here’s mine back in 1992 when it was wearing 15x6 and 15x8 disc brake wheels on the original drum brakes:
Mark - I wish you still had those rims, looking for 2 right now.

Re: 6 luggers
The front wheels came from a local wrecking yard and were so common they were only $5 each. The 15x8's were new truck “take-offs” where customers ordered optional custom wheels on their new trucks. A regional wheel wholesaler purchased take-offs in bulk from all the local car/truck dealers and sold steel wheels for the outrageously expensive price of $50 a pair.
He had stacks of them 6 feet high, several rows deep and all the way to the back fence. I never imagined they would become rare or hard to find in the future. Disappointingly, I don't really remember what became of the ones I had. After the 5 lug swap they were either were given to a neighbor or went to the dumps. |

Re: 6 luggers
I HATE THEM!
PO had them put on a a year before i bought them. the tires are too big and black rally wheels don't fit my Original hubcaps. i prefer to buy a set of original steel wheels (powder coat black) coker whitewalls or just era style tires with my hubcaps. problem is, they are too nice to just purchase new shoes (wheels/tires) the tires are still 95% tread. i knocked the corvette center caps off, thinking about selling them? rally wheels Original hubcaps... awesome petina! this is the look i am going for.

Re: 6 luggers
Found two 15" x 5.50" with clips in the garage today, didn't have my camera. Quite similar to the 15" with nubs or a Chevrolet refers to them Bosses
15" with "Boss" uses a 10-3/16" inner diameter cap 15" with clips might use the 7-5/8" 16" x 5" with clips- 6 stud uses the 7-5/8" cap 17.5" x 5.25"- 6 stud on the right, notice the deeper center section. I know the 7-5/8" cap does not fit! ![]() ![]() Last edited by aerotruk63; 12-11-2011 at 10:42 PM. |

Re: 6 luggers
I've got some factory 6 lugs on my '62 - does anyone make a center cap that comes through the back side like on the old wagon style aftermarkets? It looks like the center hole is 3.5", but the guy at the tire shop didn't have anything close.

Re: 6 luggers
Ive never seen a center cap for the stock steelies. Speedway motors has some covers that wit the centers...might try there, but they go on the outside, not from the back.

Re: 6 luggers
Anybody ever see one of our trucks running the early style artilleries? I was curious as to how that would look.
