1963 K50 10 hole rims

[63KC50NAPCO4X4]

Hello, need any info on 63 k50 10 hole rims. 20in split rims on now want to
change rims to run tubless at least 44s and 10-14 wide. I have been told
just asking around that they sell aftermarket rims?also told I can use wheel
adaptors? also told to use milatary rims and tires, also told to use new style
steel rim and weld plate to them and cut center hole and my 10 hole pattern
out. does anyone know the proper method for this project? I am shorting my
K50 napco down for lwb or swb project not sure which bed I will use yet, I
am moving rear forward and will mount both beds and take a look to see what
I want to use, so far most I have told about on this site has told me to go lwb. also doe anyone have a contact # for the owner of the big geen 50 out of canada that has the military tires and not sure about the rims. but that is
what Im looking for, for my end results but without the flat bed and I may add the tilt bed since I do have pto. sorry I wrote a book but I know Im not the only one that has had this question I spend hours searching the past
post I may have missed it. any info will be helpfull for this project. thanks

i would find a truck supply company or even a heavy truck shop they would probably be your best bet.

[j.kirn]

Dont take this wrong, but man i would leave that truck just the way you found it

[Captainfab]

It is possible that you may have to have these wheels custom made for you. A tire dealer that deals with heavy trucks, or an offroad shop, may be able to help. If not a good fab shop should be able to handle the job. I know I could do it, but I'm quite a ways from you. I would step up to 22.5 wheels. The tires are easier to find than 20"

[blackedoutharley]

Still located in the same building and they are the only ones that I know of that can build quality custom fitment wheels for something that big.

I know some people may have had service issues with the old owner but he killed himself last year and the family has sold the company.

Here's a link to Alcoas rim for "Super Single" tire configuration.

http://www.google.com/url?q=http://w...uCSbJC6ELTCQng
As you mentioned....they'll cost a few $$$$
These were developed to replace the 'Dually' configurations.....and they will already be 14" wide with 10 hole Budd from the factory....No extra cost for mod's.
This site also lists a ton of big truck accessories, including Top-Hats & lug nut covers for these rims.

What do ya think of that...?

the more that you shorten the w/b up on that truck, the choppier the ride is going to get.
a 9' bed may look quite well on there . would require about 140" w/b. what is that one now about 157" w/b. you could slide the spring hangers forward quite easily

I agree, the shorter you make it the squirrel-ier it will drive.
I have a set of 10 lug 22.5 wheels and tires available to measure and I am pretty sure they fit what you have. They are the same pattern as a 64 Chevy C60 that sits in a lot not far from here. Diesel wrecking yards sell them for $30-$50 each.

[Dinos63]

there are wheels out there but they are very very spendy

[63KC50NAPCO4X4]

thank you all for the info and ideas I will look into this and move forward on the project. anymore sites for rims are welcome and I know its going to be
$$$$$ but what isnt in this world today.

Ron those would be more than I would hope for do you have a site for those? I was thinking of steel military bead lock looking things, but if I could get something that nice and modern to fit up, that would be great. thanks.

I see that you're in VA but exactly where, you're keeping a secret.
But I've seen on Craigslist a guy who has 22.5 Alcoa's with tires for $150 each.
Do searchtempest.com and he's either in Roanoke, Lynchburg or maybe Blacksburg.

I found them:

thought they were 22.5 but they're 24.5 not far from you

Here are the wheels on my 1963 C60. You could do it the 'clean' way. Have your 10 bolt centers cut and welded into any steel outside that you want.

Here are my 22.5 6 handhold wheels that were welded onto my original centers. Now I can run radials. People who know catch that these are different outsides - but they look factory stock. If you are asking, it is not cheap - but it is cheaper than buying new aluminum wheels and finding someone who will drill them.

Stockton wheel declined selling me aluminum wheels and drilling them to my specs. So I found a machinist who would do the cutting and welding. The outsides are from Ford 22.5 2 ton wheels. I painted them and mounted the tires myself.

[aerotruk63]

When I was delivering boats for a living, we had what was referred to as a disk wheel on the trailer. They took a Dayton style wheel ring and welded in a disk of steel that had been machined for the center bore and bolt pattern. Sorry I have no pictures of the set up.

CFI Tire Service claim to build custom wheels for tractors and such. (888-590-6787 ) or sberardi@cfitire.com
