Id love to get one of these, fix it up, and do jobs with it, my mamaw's neighbor has one like it in their backyard. I cant see it very well from the road, but it looks like a 70s or 80s chevy or gmc.

Man that's an awesome truck I have a 67 I am working on that I got running after it sat for a long time albeit clearly less than yours has lol. I just wanted to let you know you need to get rid of those rims before you drive it on the road you cannot have new tires put on them and they risk splitting and can kill you if you air them up if you need to know where you can find some just ask.

Yeah I'm looking for a set of 19.5 rims.

@@adventurewagen yeah those are really hard to find I went to several yards near me and couldn't find any. What you might have to do is find another truck with the right wheels and swap them on. That was my plan for mine is to find either a set of rims or steal some off of a non-roadworthy truck to make 2 out of 1. I am just swapping axles because I got a steal on a set of axles so if you keep your axles they might be the same as mine if you need parts just let me know man those trucks are awesome.

I have those same kind of wheels on my 51 Chevy 2 and a half ton flatbed and have put several hundred thousand miles on them with no problems. I also change my own tires on the wheels. Yes, they are dangerous if you don't pay attention to what you are doing. As long as you watch what you are doing and make sure you put them back together properly, they are fine. Just DO NOT air them up loose on the ground. ALWAYS use a cage or a heavy logging chain when airing them up after assembly. An alternative is bolting them to the truck with the part that can come loose facing the frame of the truck. If you pay attention to what you are doing they're perfectly fine. However, if you can find them, tubeless wheels are always better.

@@adventurewagen , I think you will find that 19.5's are too small for that truck. My 62 C60 has 22.5's. Someone told me that UPS trucks had the right bolt pattern for these GM trucks.

Give the truck a detail. Paint the mirrors white. It will look so different.
