Whitney,

I have a 40 3/4 ton with artillery wheels. My manuals all show artillery for
this year. I like the look of these wheels a lot.

Artillery wheels were standard on the 3/4 ton trucks up through 1939 (maybe
'40).  The inner disc of the wheel has a series of "spokes" attaching to the
rim, different from the 1/2 ton wheel with 4 wide attachment points.  They
are hard to find and highly sought after by the "older" truck folks.  $300
for a set of 4 would not be a bad price.

Hope this helps.  I may have a pix.  E-mail off list if you want a picture.
If you buy the trucks and don't want the wheels, e-mail again!
