Re: 1961 GMC 4000 Rescue and repair
That said, I figured I would post pictures of the new wheels and tires that arrived today.
I bought these tires and wheels (22.5x6.75 White Steel 10x8.75" (Old Chevy 2 Ton Trucks) as replacements for the original split-rim widow-maker wheels. In the pictures, I still have the driver's side up on jack-stands as I am working on the steering shaft. The wheels fit great and putting a tape measure on them, that are not as high and the original wheel/tire combination. I wanted 22.5 inch rims for ease in buying tires. I look at it as money well spent.
I mounted a tire just to measure and check steering clearance. It's all good. I don't want to make a habit of taking these tires off as they are heavy.
