    I have a '60 LWB Stepside. it currently has 6 lug wheels - I don't know if they are original or not, but they have definately seen better days. A friend of mine is putting custom rims on his '03 Silverado, and will sell me his 16 inch 6 lug "take offs" cheap. Anyone know if these will work w/o mods to the truck or wheels.

    Thanks!

    I don't think that those will work on the front hubs. The wheel bearings on our trucks require a wide center bore on the wheels. I "THINK" 2 1/2 inch center bore is correct.

    Hey if you're tired of ugly 6-lug aftermarket rims, there is an adapter for these trucks that will convert your 6-lug into a more common 5-lug. I just found this place tonight, go to WWW.EZACCESORIES.COM
    it's called a two-piece conversion kit

    Hello,
    I was wondering what was wrong with your old ones? Would they be for sale?
    Thanks,
