They must be "real" CMP 16" wheels, HUP have 6 studs to mount to the hub rather than 8.

Yep, got that, just painting a clear picture on the "fitting tires to 16" wheels" problems.

Yes the rims are General Motors Canada 1941 stamped. The tires are STA 900-16 tires. They fit just fine and were easy to install.

Not much to report lately. I’ve been busy working on some other stuff. But I did pick up my order for all new bearings for the driveline on the truck.

Again not much progress. The truck really hasn’t been worked on much in the past two months. Apparently I have way too many other things on the go. However my order of Canadian made seat back springs arrived. I just went with one length for now using a shorter spring to measure by. I’m hoping this will make the back a bit more stiff. With the Wire3 having 5 seats, I gave up trying to find that many useable originals.

5 sets of new CMP seat canvas. All thanks to a friends wife who loves to sew. She patterned them off of NOS samples I’ve got.

Pretty cool Jordan.
When I did my first 12 cab I needed seats done. A family friend's mom suggested that she could do these no problem. When I got them back they were perfect, also from an original sample. I also learned that they were among various items that this lady was tasked with producing during the War- alas her experience was real, and nothing like having a real life Betty the Riveter fall back on old skills...
