15 x 5.5 inch steel wheels with 3 hubcap nubs, compatible with front drum brakes. Not for disc brakes if you happen to want to put disc brakes on your truck. They are for 6 lug 1970 and before if you don't mind skinny tires like the trucks had stock back in the day. I use 225/75R15 tires on them. I have a set for sale here:

Yep! Just curious if it's a specific year. They are also two different style of wheels.

The silver wheel is just like what came on my '68 C10. The date code is stamped to the left of the valve stem, when the stem is at the bottom. There is also the same info stamped on the 6 pads in between the lug holes. Mine have K 1 8(8 is under the 1) on one lug, then F on the next lug stamped on them. The stamp near the valve stem is K 1 8 6. I'm going to say that F=6, 6=F in a date code. Not sure about that though.

K = Kelsey Hayes
1 = plant - Romulus. MI ??? Chevrolet???
8 = year '68
6 or F = month ???
