    I found an old home made Utility Trailer at our town dump recently that I'm going to build a single motorcycle trailer out of. Can someone help identify these wheels? They're 19" and are 6 lug. I appreciate any help. Thanks

    that type of spring shackle with a bolt holding the center together is on mopar and chevy for sure. Mopar would be hyd brake, chevy would be mechanical.

    Not on the earlier chevys, the wheel you are thinking of is later 17", around 34 or 35


    The earlier 19 chev wires are same in car and pickup.

    There is also a real strange chevy wire wheel from around 33. It was on the cheapest chevy model, called the Mercury. It was 5 lug, and has a 4-1/4" bolt circle that no other car had. If you spot one, the bolt circle will grab your eye, as it just looks small.

    The fat hub wire wheel would have been on the bigger Master series.

    So it's a 1932 Chevy truck or car? Here's a pic of the trailer itself. I almost fell over when I saw it at the dump. With it having the dropped I-beam axle it's perfect for a low drive-on motorcycle trailer. Can't wait to jump on it. I'm going to tow it behind my 31 A. Thanks for the help.
