Hi Jolly,

How many lugs are your front wheels? Do you think they're the same bolt pattern as a '61 Chevy Viking? I haven't seen the truck yet and I need to bring a wheel for it...

Also do you know the width of the truck at the outside of the tires?

Thanks,
Pat

A picture would help, they could be Dayton type spoke hubs with nuts and spacers for a separate wheel, or they could be a 10 lug Bud disc wheel with lug nuts......a picture would make it a lot easier to figure out......Kieth

Most of the smaller Big Trucks have the 5/10 pattern, there is 10 holes in the wheels and 10 lugs on the rear, but only 5 lugs on the front. I just put wheels off my 1960 Viing 60 on the front of my 3500 GMC. see my Rescue Squad post in the build section for photos.

Your truck width will vary based on tires, year of truck and model, the 60-62 torsion bar truck are wider at the front tires then the newer 63-66 trucks. it should be 88" to 91".
