Reverse thread? Do you mean you have left hand threads on the driver side and right hand threads on the passenger side. Normally the nuts in...
Half ton is 5 x 4.5". Three quarter could be 5 x 5" or 6 x 7.25". Power Wagon is 5 x 6 7/8" circle. Stu
I've thought about getting a set for one of my Marmon-Herrington 4x4s. Not a vehicle most on the HAMB care about though, different crowd. These...
Here's an old FTE thread where I linked two OSHA web sites that give good info on safely servicing truck wheels, and on the dangers of mix...
Your rims are called "split ring", not "split rim", and are perfectly safe to use if undamaged and handled properly. They are not the deadly split...
What ever you do, don't call the Oregon fiasco "full service". Socialism at its best. Another example of the "progressives" in Portland sticking...
I've got dozens of old wheel catalogs from Budd, K-H, Motor Wheel, and Firestone/Accuride. Only one of those catalogs gives data like you're...
Do you torque rod bolts to "manufacturer's recommendations"? I'm sure so. Why is that different? Stretched overtorqued studs are a problem no...
Personal testimonials like you guys are giving are useless IMHO. The manufacturers recommend dry torque. Here's a Budd chart that gives torque...
There was a 14" x 5" used in '57 on regular cars, and a 14" x 5.5" used on wagons. Both were K-H products. The 5" was K-H #41545 and the 5.5" was...
As I understand the Illinois S.O.S. is clamping down on places like Broadway Title. And even if you were to go through Broadway, their application...
For a dually application the books say that Studebaker used a Budd tubeless wheel, #79120, with banjo style rear axle applications on or after VIN...
Oops, I just remembered, the F-350 in SLC is a dually. Something else to keep in mind, Kelsey Hayes also made 17.5s for IH that had the 6 lug...
Stock tire size won't much matter because his multi-part rims are either 16" or 17". Converting to tubeless means he's gonna be in either of the...
You don't ask easy questions. So I'm gonna make some assumptions and you tell me if I'm wrong. First, you've no doubt got the 6 lug x 7.25" circle...
Great old thread. Here's my vote. [IMG]
Owen - I emailed you a while back checking on you and the family but never heard so I figured you'd moved, changed email, or something. Maybe got...
Bob - I'll agree that Big Flats is the place to get your stuff. Here's a few good discussions on the subject. Even if it is a Buick. Have you...
I'm with you. Done it six or seven times, the whole road. Even did it once in one very long day, all 600 miles. Stupid, but fun. Avenue...
Yes, the early ones have a flat area at the top that attaches to the frame as I understand. The late ones, like my '51s and '52s, stop at the top...
Man, I understand. I've got two F-3 Marmon-Herrington projects and both came with trashed boards. I bought a whole parts truck just to get its...
No sir, that is the Lady Bird Johnson story I mentioned above. Jack went to war with the enviro-nazis back in the 60s and won. I-70 was coming...
A nice late fall day; Wentzville to Junction City on I-70; priceless!
It's bad when you recognize a place from the pics of it. Easy Jack's is about 10 miles from my brother's place and I've been there countless...
This one was at the Indy Good Guys. Stu [IMG]
Shall do. Much appreciated. Stu
I was at a local yard today and hauled this rascal home. What the heck used these? I've got dozens of old wheel catalogs but don't find this...
The fenders on F-2 through F-6 have a larger wheel opening radius than an F-1, but are the same width. It's the F-7 and F-8 that are wider.
The guy was getting flamed so bad they pulled the thread.
See if you like these. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
