Wheels for my 53 3600 3/4 ton
I recently purchased wheels for my 1953 3600 3/4 ton Chevrolet pick up.
Before I did this I spent half a day at a salvage yard trying to find wheels that would fit my truck. And did not find any that would fit. Because you can't get any wheel that has more than a 4.25 inch back space. Because it will interfere with the Tie Rod End.So I took the advice of a lot of people on this forum to just check out etrailer.com! So I did and purchased the std. steel wheels, 8 lug. And I have to say that they came today. I mounted them on the truck and they DO NOT interfere with the tie rod ends!!!!!!! There is at least 3/4 to one inch space between the rim of the wheel and the tie rod end!!!! Sweet. Now I just need to get some rubber mounted on the wheels and I will be in like Flynn!!!!!!! So happy!!!! |

Re: Wheels for my 53 3600 3/4 ton
Here you go guy's. My truck has a set of Dextar wheels with tires mounted on them. They are Kenda Radial Klever A/P 215-85-R16 I think they look real good.
Also have a picture of the tie rod end and the wheel clearance. I know it doesn't look like it in the picture, but there is and inch of clearance. |
