    There use to be a place over at Whitney. It use to have some old stuff in it. I have not been over that way in a while. There might be some cool stuff on 84. It will go from brownwood to Waco. Stephenville is kinda out of the way. You will go through some small places.
     
  2. Bart78,

    No, not T but Chevrolet, Hupmobile, etc- more like what would be used on an early speedster/sprint car or what you'd see run on the front of a lakes car from the 40's.

    I will see what I can find. I have a pile of wires for t's. My grandfather spent fifty years buying t's and parts for them. It's like t-bucket heaven out at his place.

    .. looks like the tires are ready to fall off ...
    how lazy a s****per is he that the tires like this are too much trouble to remove.... :)

    What is the easiest way to change the bolt pattern? Or can it be done. Can new holes be drilled for 5 on 5 1/2? We have cnc mills that I think could do the job and be very accurate.

    I don't think you will have luck increasing the bolt circle on that wheel without destroying it. There simply isn't room for the increase to 5 1/2" b.c.

    A better option would be to change the bolt circle to 4 1/2 on your hubs/drums/axles.

    I could use a set of 16" wires with a 5-1/2" BC if he has a set of those.

    Those are not dodge, mopar, or whatever else anybody else said. They are mice thirties Chevy artillery wheels. They have a 5x4.25" bolt pattern, the smallest 5 bolt pattern.
