I had a '51 GMC 20 years ago that had 5 lug wheels front and rear that sound
like what you've described. But that truck was just the GMC body set on a
Dodge 4x4 powerwagon chassis. It even had the Dodge flathead six. I bought
wheels from a guy who had a bunch of old military stuff. Could your truck
be a similar kind of thing?
