1958 Apache 3100 rims
Trying to find the correct rims for a 1958 Chevy Apache 3100. What year trucks had the same rims or where can I buy them new.

Re: 1958 Apache 3100 rims
Stock rims are six lug and all the '55-'59 half tons (ill assume that's what you're talking about?) have the same pattern and it extends through the 60-66's I believe. Possibly to the '67-72's but I'm not sure.
If you're staying with stock rims they aren't in that high I demand and you should be able to find them on Craigslist. But if you want new all the aftermarket places like Wheelsmith, etc have them. Posted via Mobile Device

Just wanted to make sure there the same into the 70's and the stock hub caps will fit on them. Thanks

Re: 1958 Apache 3100 rims
Might want to think about one other "issue". The later years in the series may have used a different mechanism to allow the hubcap to snap on to the rim. The "correct" rims for a 1958 would have little spring clips riveted to the rim. A rim from the late 60's early 70's may not have the spring clip on it. FYI

Both look great with beauty rings and dog dish center caps in my opinion but neither is a stock replacement.
