Of particular interest is the model made by Rick as is it similar to mine.
Re-reading your first post, I see you must be referring to a 1940 Chevrolet WB 30 cwt 4x2 truck.

At first I thought you were going to replicate the Chevy 30cwt 1533x2 like others have done, in that case 6.00-16 W.D. spilt rims could be sourced from one of your parts trucks in the back 40.

Looking at the WB model, I wonder if they could be civilians rims, possibly widened and mounted inside out?
