Thanks, RK. I picked up a few from another member of this forum today. He was right in my state. I am going to try to clean those up and use them. I do appreciate the resource though. Thank you! Jack

Thank you! Honestly, I am not sure what I would put on the back, maybe a Stake body? First, I need one more rim and ring for my last wheel... I am on the hunt for another C-34800 or close. It's tough finding one that isn't shot or too thin from pitting and erosion.

I imagine they may rub if I had 7.00 or larger on them, But I have 6.50, and I could fit a 2 x 4 between them at 50#. I don't intend on having anything too heavy on the back. That certainly could be a problem with the rims being narrow, and not much offset. Thanks for checking out my post. Jack

Well, I was able to get 5 out of the 6 I needed put together. The rest of the rims & rings I had were just too far gone and too dangerous to use. My rims were mostly Budd C-34800. Now I just have to hunt one rim and Ring down to finish, and my relic can roll on it's own shoes.. I am glad I was...

I have been keeping all rings and rims together as I dismantled them. I even had a couple split ring style that were swiss cheese, so those will be going to scrap. All the others are continuous ring style. Either way, I keep them paired as I dismount them.

Great to meet you today KDL ! Thank you, and I look forward to chatting again!

I want to thank all of you guys for your replies. I will be blasting and painting the ones I have, and will reach back out if I see the Budd numbers... I have some that measure 6-3/4" to outer face when laying face up. Some measure 7-1/2" and some 8-1/2" I guess I'll keep the shallow ones...

Got it Thank you! I met the 10 posts, so now I can PM.

Does anyone know what years of 1-1/2 ton truck rims had changes to the offsets, lug holes, hub centers, etc? I have a 1938 with 20" x 4.33 (I believe) rims. Just wondering what other years will fit? I am not interested in going wider. Thanks

I only have 8 posts under my belt being new so it wont let me send a personal message. maybe if you send me a few messages I could get closer? I would love to check them out this weekend f possible?

We could use some precipitation out here in CT. Alot of fires are sprouting up. It hasn't rained in more than a month it seems. I will check back in with you when the snow clears.. Thanks

I think I'm an idiot, and maybe replied to myself on my post. It was meant for you...

nice! I am hoping to find some local as wel so I can get my tires mounted and get the old girl off blocks. Are the ones you have from a 38 ish truck?

I am new here, so just working on getting used to the forum, and hope to be able to post in the swap meet section, and chat thru PM about my old truck '38 ton and a half.

I am looking for some for my 38 1-1/2 ton and my brothers 40 1-1/2 ton. I am not sure if his rims are different because of juice brakes or not. They look about the same width 4.33" and have 6.50 20's on them.

As I dismantled my 20" 1-1/2 ton wheels today, and checked the viability of restoring some to be safe... Out of 8 wheels I found one good one, and one maybe ok. I sure hope I can find some decent ones out there... I am just hoping some are still around. Has anyone ever found some good barn finds...

Going to give it a shot! Thanks

I am unsure of how this works? I cant send someone a PM, or create a post, or reply to a post,... But I somehow need to post 9 or 10 times to be able to post or reply? How can one achieve the 9 or 10 posts if he cant post?
