1980 c30 with duals

ok so i picked this truck up to use for a hauler. but its got a case of the shakes looks like i got a mix of ford dual wheels and bent chevy wheels. so i was just going to pick up a stock steel set for it but the dealer said they dont have them anymore and the guy at the tire shop said he cant get them. so where do i get them?

Try LMC or Vintage wheels. I am sure there are more places I just can't think right now.

Re: 1980 c30 with duals

thanks guys i know the ford wheel have a 5 inch center and i found the early chevy is 4.56 inch and the 2000 ups are 4.60 on the center the dealer can still get the 2000 up wheels and i dont think the .04 diff is going to hurt anything do you

Re: 1980 c30 with duals

Have you made sure the pressures (and tire sizes) are equal on the insides and outsides rims? Could save you a purchase...also the usual balance and debris stuff.
