'51 Chev 3-Ton rims

[Tim Dyer]

Hi all; I have an ex-RCAF '51 Chev Maple Leaf 3-ton dump. It runs and moves (no brakes!), is very solid, has 43,000 original miles and has the worst, motley-lot of bald tyres I have ever seen. I cannot get anyone to fit tyres to the rims because they are a split type. My business precludes me from taking the time to fit them myself. I am hoping someone can tell me what rims from later vehicles will fit and will keep Mr. Tyre Fitter happy. The truck has 21-inch diameter wheels, but I'm guessing that will have to change with more modern ones, and they are 5-bolt front and back. Does anyone know if later GM rims will fit and, if so, from what years and what models? Many thanks; Tim
