They had two sizes back then. The 16 was the standard wheel size. 15″ was optional. That may seem backwards today with the new trucks and such but makes total sense. Trucks drove like trucks (not luxury cars) back then and any additional sidewall just added to ride comfort. Measure across the diameter of the rim. It is what it is.

Having trouble indentifying the actual year. Gas tank is right behind the driver, on the driver side! What year is this?

Watch craigslist. I have seen complete frames show up for sale as it is common to put these bodies on newer frames.

My ’54 has them, and I think but I’m not positive they were available on the first series 55.

I purchased it from the original owner. By many accounts, to include the owners manual, the wheels should be 16 inches. However, I am not sure how to measure them and wonder if the process is different today. I have tried several ways…came come up with 16 inches! No diagrams (that I have found) show the specification process. Hints?

The frame needs some repair. Does anyone reproduce the cross member where the parking brake cross bar is located just at the back of the cab position? I have looked online and don’t see anyone talking about that. I can fabricate something myself but thought it might be nice to keep it looking original. Thank you
