Actual lettering inside of rim is:
"Made in USA 15X55 K NT 5 (Circle KH logo)"

Will try to get photo later when cleaned up a little more.

Interested in your photo. I bought these wheels a few weeks ago (still have to pick them up).

MG,

Nice, the wheels look to be in good condition.

What do you think, do they look the same? Two areas that may be different, hard to tell from photos.
1). Valve stem diameter, older wheels had larger valve stems ( the wheels in my photo have the smaller diameter); and
2). the back spacing may be different.

The above wheels are in storage now, will check back spacing in next few days and report it.

The reference for the valve stem diameter information came from "60-66" reported in another thread, he also reported additional information on decoding the KH information stamped in the wheels.

Note: The above wheels came off a 1966 truck, look to be original to that truck. However, no way to be sure.

Back on the Front Axle Replacement

I just got the clean AZ Dana 44 which is the axle I will be using.

Will test fit it in the truck before cleaning it and doing any repairs. The steering arm and drag link assembly were modified. So will be putting them back to stock. Will be changing out the hubs to locking ones too.

Believe it to be a 78' axle, will confirm that in the next few days.

Got the original 64' Dana 44 front axle over in storage for any future needs to put back in truck.

Have the bed off and panels taken apart. Their are a couple of welds on the rear that need to be ground apart. Will be doing some bumping to dings and few small dents, along with some welding up of extra holes and a few cracks.

You can see the small weld area that needs to be removed in the first photo. It is where the lower part of the rear panel connects to the side panel. I used the die grinder to cut the weld.

Additional photos of panels.

A few more photos of truck with bed removed, and rear panel ready to do some welding.

Used a plastic hand held blaster and black beauty media to clean the areas to be welded.
