    Hello,
    as you can see have my truck original wheels. I think they look good, I like the original look with the hubcaps. The wheels on my truck are not in a very good condition.
    Can you give me a hint where I can buy wheels which look authentic?

    Wheel Vintiques makes reproductions and you can order them with custom back spacing if need be.

    I'm quite sure you want tubless typ 16" wheels with hub cap clips , not those dangerous split rims :eek: .

    Hello Nate,

    6 Lug 15" Steel Wheels

    O.K. ,

    These are out there , the main thing you now need to decide is : snap on or clip typ of hubcap as there's two different wheels here for this .

    For simplicity , Joe (' Mothertrucker ' ) in Arizona , will sel you a nice set of matched wheels or like I said , Stockton Wheel or other Hot Rod Wheel Suppliers all will make them up for you brandy new but $ ! .

    I'm not rich so I had to keep going to junkyards until one by one I found a full set of 6 lug 15" snap on hub cap wheels for my '69 C/10 , these are also used on earlier trucks and the Tak Force Hot Rodders don't seem to like them much so maybe you can peruse the Task Force forums for some take offs ? .

    Good luck hunting ! .
