First things first, I need to put some tires on it, as all its tires are rotten and will not even hold air. When it came to me it had 750-15 tires on the back and 750-17 on the front. What it was delivered with new, I haven't a clue. I would like to put 700-16 tires on it all around, and get rid of the split rim wheels. I suppose I could put lower profile tires on it, but it just would not look right IMO. What do you think? The problem is, there are no wheels available that I can find. What I want are 16 inch stamped steel wheels 5 to 6 inchs wide, with 8 on 6 1/2 lug pattern, which will handle the large brake drums. Coker say they are out of stock and it may be a half of year before they get any, if they ever do. If I can't get the wheels I need I will either have to settle for wider tires, or use the split rims which I won't do, or part the truck out. I hate to part it out as it is a complete and rust free truck. Any ideas out there? Any one know of a source for the wheels I want? Thanx.
