I found these wheels for sale locally and can't really find any info on them. Most of the Clev-Weld info is on the artillery wheels. The seller only offered that they are 15x5.5 and were once on a 1937 Ford truck. Can anyone offer any info? Maybe they were accessory wheels?
Accessory "change-over" wheels like the General Jumbos. Supplied with different hubcaps that matched the brand of tires. 14 & 15 inch are wide, 16 inch a narrower wheel. Picture shows 14 inch 8-spoke, 15 inch 9-spoke, 14 & 15 inch solid Jumbo wheels. Caps are scarce.
1937 would of had wide fives originally. It must of had brake conversion and wheels sourced afterwards.
The wheels seem to not have a flat mounting surface inside the stud holes, like they would fit the 28-35 Fords that used a raised nub inside the stud for support.
