I have a '49 3/4 ton Chevy that is in real good condition but has later
style wheels on it. I'd like to get the original style 8-lug wheels with
the tabs for the hubcaps (9" dia I think). I'm in the Sacramento area, any
ideas on where to find some?

Dan,
I've got a 55/2nd 3/4 ton daily driver and I am about to switch my tires and
rims. They are 8 bolt 17" split rims and the highway type tires are in fair
shape, but probably pretty old.. If I remember correctly the tires can take
aroung 70psi. If it sits for a couple days it takes a mile or so to round
them out. They have chrome caps 11" in diameter that snap onto ridges, not
the clips. If this is what you're looking for, drop me a line. I'm in Orange
Co, CA.
You can see the rims at my website.
