NEEDED 20" CMP rims ........

[BCBlitz]

Morning all

Actually I really dont know what the wheels are off of , Im assuming a 60CWT but not sure what trucks used 20" wheels other than them, so being you all know more than I do with CMP's feel free to chime in.

I know I dont realy need a spare but would like to make a rack for the box and set one up there so need 1 rim, tire I can get unless it has one on it, freight, well nothing is imposable just a freight truck away or a friend who is coming west !

If this snow would ever melt maybe we could see whats laying on the ground, lets all do the rain and sun dance or we need to ship it down under for the lads there

keep me in mind should one pop up somewhere. Also should a chev and ford wheel be the same ?

The wheel rim and components are all interchangable, but there are minor detail differences and manufacturing processes. See this thread.

thanks Tony

Ill have to see what I have on mine ..... also does anyone know if the bolts which hold the 2 halves together are a special kinda bolt or just a grade 8 type reg bolt ?
looks to be an item might be good idea to change with new stuff for the sake of safety, plus the red paint will stick better ! LOL

thanks

I can only say for sure about the 16" rims, on the 16" rims there are welded in studs, not bolts, and they are an oddball thread by today's SAE standards (I think it's a BSW fine thread, whatever it was I couldn't find anyone who sold new hardware in a matching diameter and thread pitch). I suspect that if you have regular nuts and bolts holding the wheel halves together that it is a post-war "field" modification.

Terry,

Just spotted this thread. I've got one odd ball wheel and tire that may be what you are looking for. It is a combat rim but exactly what size I'm not sure. It looks to be about the same size as my M152 tires. I have to go out to the tire shed for another guy this eve. Will check and post back. Oh and I would LOVE it to go to a new home.
