Split rim to regular rim.Stockton?

[37 Coupe]

I have a buddy who has been looking for a wheel or a wheel maker to change from a split rim to a solid regular rim. Now the one issue is this is not for a Ford but a '67 3/4 ton International truck. I guess there is probably an International site but I am a Ford guy trying to help him and he is not a computer guy.Years ago I had Stockton wheel change my 15" 1956 F-100 wheel to a wider rim but I have heard they went downhill or even out of business. I am thinking mayby 3/4 ton Ford trucks used the same wheel? It is currently a 16" wheel with a bolt pattern of 6 lugs on a 7 1/4" bolt circle and again he wants changed to a split rim to a regular rim but 16" Thanks for any leads .

Some years ago wheelsmith put 7” rims on 55 ford centers for me, custom 4” backspace. They’re still around, probably worth a call. Use the link, otherwise you’re likely to get a bicycle shop.

Those people are serious ...

If they’re still as good as they were, you’re right. Now if the OP just tells us if they can and what it cost. Mine was very reasonable, but they had some oem rims in stock to rob the centers from.

Now that is a nice touch if one had early centers stamped FORD, etc.
