So is the whole 13" rim there, or just one side with the other side cut flat and attached to the 16" rim?

Short answer yes and no

Let me know when you find a source for 13 inch rubber, I still need a couple for my C-8. Cheers Rob Fast

BKT from India makes a fairly decent looking version of the 13" tire in their sandstar pattern. The lesser ply tires are rated to 40 mph, but they are not DOT rated, so technically not legal for road use in North America.

BKT has a Cdn distributor, and Tirecraft in Winnipeg carries the brand. I placed a call to them a few weeks ago, but never got a call back. I need to pursue this avenue, as the museum is in need of 8 at this time. Add 4 for Niel and 4 for Rob, and the order is starting to become reasonable.

A few more pictures, The Serial No. is 1G-2818F hopefully this is correct, Rob or someone else can divulge more information about my truck.

1G models ran from 1G-175 to 1G-11500 spanning Nov 1 1939 to Oct 1 1940. So yours falls into the early part of 1940 I would suspect. The F and star are just to show the end of the serial number, and to prevent the used car dealers from adding numbers to change a vin.

Nice early fuel tank with the short straight neck and the change valve on the tank. Seems to me they had a small portion baffled off as a reserve tank.
