Hi Ted,

I don't think the 1/2 ton trucks used 17" wheels in 1937.

They had 16 x 4 (6.00 x 16 tires) Artillery wheels for just the 1/2 ton
trucks and the 15 x 5.5 (7.50 x 15 - 6 ply tires) Artillery Wheels available
for the 1/2 & 3/4 ton trucks.

The 1 ton trucks had 17 x 6 (for the 7.00 x 17 - 6 ply or 7.50 x 17 - 8 ply
tires).

The last year for the 5.50 x 17 Artillery wheel with 6 lugs was the 1936
Master and 1/2 ton truck, the '36 Standard was 17" 5 lug.

I have '35/36 17" 6 lug rims if that is what you need.
