Re: wheels
The majority of these trucks had 20" wheels, it's 22.5" that everyone is after.
Budd or dayton wheels? Budd wheels have 10 or 5 studs and bolt on like a normal vehicle. Dayton hubs use wedges that bolt on the outer edge of the wheel.
No semi wheel will bolt up to that truck. The c70 and bigger trucks used the common 10 lug semi truck pattern.
Wheels now makes a 22.5" dayton wheel that will bolt up to your truck.
You'll find that the brake system is another major hold up on these trucks. What looks like a good price for a heavy work truck ends up costing 3x or 4x the initial purchase price for just wheels tires and brakes.
