I am posting a composite note that was sent in on ChevyTalk, the forum that I have been a Moderator on since April 1999. I wonder whether anyone has any ideas please?

Hello all, as you can see I am new to this forum. I am totally ignorant when it comes to antique cars, so I am hoping I can get some help here. I am currently restoring a pre-WWII 37mm anti-tank cannon for a local museum. From my research I have been able to find out that the original wheels were the same as used on Chevy 1936 trucks. The bolt pattern is 5.5" with a 6-lug configuration. I am hoping to find 2 original wheels that fit this description. I also need two new tires for the wheels, which I was told I can find through an outfit named Coker Tire. Any help locating the 2 original wheels that I am looking for would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Marshall
I am located in west Tennessee, USA. Coker sells wheels and tires? I'm not sure if reproductions are being made, but it would be nice to find 2 original wheels. Thanks again, Marshall

What was a 37 mm? Not heard of that one before? Odd that they would have used Chevy wheels...I wonder if they were Kelsey-Hayes built?
