[QUOTE="DaveKamp, post: 213291, member: 5122"] Apologies for the delay... I had to divert my resources to getting the Studebaker moved, which involves tires, which is a rabbit hole of seemingly epic proportions. The 1953 Studebaker 2R16 is a 1.5t farm truck that has only 22,000mi on the odometer, and still has it's original, yet very degraded tires. The size is 6.00-20, on 'widowmaker' type two-piece rims, 5-on-8" bolt pattern. The rims are well-rusted in many places, such that disassembling, cleaning, and reassembling with new tires is NOT a possible option... corrosion has weakened the structure enough so that the wheel halves will not safely grip. The 6.00-20 tires are 32.75" outside diameter, and replacements are ghastly expensive, I need to make this truck roll in and out of the shop on something that will hold air, and be inexpensive to obtain. I called over to my local used truck parts place, they happened to have some wheels and tires off of 1-ton GMC pickup trucks scrapped from railroad high-rail trucks. These wheels are fitted with offset spacers and have wheel centers made from 3/8" steel... they're rediculously heavy, so they'll have no customers interested in those wheels unless it's a railroad (and railroads don't buy used wheels). The tires are 225-70-19.5's, which are a common size, but for high-rail vehicles, they're extra heavy tires. These are worn, but in excellent shape, so I'm repurposing them as my 'shop wheels'.
