Where's the 3/4 ton love? - Page 6 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Nice fleet Yelmer! Love the red 66. Are they 17.5's on there?

Dustin07 · 11-18-2011, 05:59 PM

well I cant' find any pics, but my first truck I bought myself was a '60 3/4 ton long bed. if I ever needed a 'real' truck again, I'd love to have a 60-66 longbed 3/4 ton. but for now, hot rods are on the agenda... aka, '61 short fleet

**yelmer** · 11-18-2011, 08:52 PM

Yes the green truck and the red have the one piece 17.5 . I replaced the 16. Split rims the 17.5 are the other wheel you could get with the 3/4 ton mike

Here's me 63 c20 I just bought last weekend! Usual rust on the bottoms of fenders, and just starting on the corner of one door. Otherwise rust free! Its all original. Even the paint except the spraypaint on the door where the old shop name got covered up years ago. V8 4speed

**yelmer** · 11-30-2011, 09:06 AM

the rams you can get new or have yours rebuild . the control valve is the standard chevy unit try a corvette restoration place they should have all the parts except the hoses. that what i did on my 66

leoramos97035 · 11-30-2011, 02:09 PM

Hubcaps on modern 16" 8 lug bump type wheels???? How does that work? Did you install clips on these wheels? Or are they 16.5" clip type wheels?

J.Cagle · 12-01-2011, 09:26 PM

my 3/4 ton has a set of ford 16" steelies with the hubcap bumps. They take a very large hub cap. I would love to know what 8 hole wheel will take regular caps!

**yelmer** · 12-02-2011, 01:05 AM

do we have pictures of this ? new to me

**LostMy65** · 12-02-2011, 03:57 AM

Hi Im a newbie here but used to old trucks. My 62 K 20 Im rebuilding has 17" Hercules hdt 17's there very old. Looks to be split wheels. All trucks this era seem to be 16.5- 17.5. The wheels are the same color as the truck,and is wearing original paint. It was built in the NewYork plant. Any good sources on some stock 17s? Im running some 16s on my daily W200,( ya its a Dodge, Please go ez on me. ) 7.50-16s Primex trac master. I baught from Nebraska tire.

The original wheel tire combo on my half ton was 16" and the wheels on my 1 ton were 16" as well. LOTS of wheels interchange since the 8 lug pattern is the same on Ferd, dodge, chebby and GMC. Most tire shops wont touch split rims so I think your best bet is to shop for some take offs at your local used tire shops.
