Those wheels are on forum member 60-66's 1966 GMC 4x4 panel. (When is last time anyone has seen one of these restored?). The 6 lug version is very rare, optional on '60-'68 1/2 tons, the 8 lug was more common, standard equipment on '60-'68 3/4-1 tons. For the concourse 100pt. stock people, these wheels along with correct period hubcap win trophies. Bias ply tires are still available, both in highway and traction tread. IMO, those wanting the correct factory look pre '69 are largely outnumbered by whatever fits and is cheaper.
