Dodge/Ford/Chevy Wheels
My 1969 C/20 had the original split wheels with four different bias/tube tires:
 I wasn't sure what to do as apparently it is hard to get tire shops to work on them so I started looking for some replacements. I got lucky and found a set of 17" 2008 Dodge wheels with decent Michelins for CHEAP on CL! They sat inboard too much so I spent $200 (ouch) on a set of 1.5" spacers with 9/16" studs. These mount to the original 1/2" studs with Ford F250 lug nuts. Finally, I bought some 9/16" lug nuts that allow me to install 3/4 ton Chevy center caps. I think it looks pretty good for the price. What do you all think?

Re: Dodge/Ford/Chevy Wheels
Looks good and nice Michelins, too.
Can't beat a nice looking C-20...
