You could get a variety of rims for the one tons (39-47 anyway) but they were all six bolt.

I'm not a big believer in the semi-floaters anyway, and I'm amazed that the army did use them - right up to the time the first wheel and hub fell off anyway.

The 1939 civilian one ton semi-floating axle and wheel formed the basis of the 1940 military VC half ton rear axle, right down to the novel idea of the whole wheel parting company with the truck if the axle shaft broke. Even the 1940 military VC wheel is the same rim as the 1939 one tin rim, but drilled for five lugs not six, and with the rib at the centre turned in, not out.

As to having lots of stuf lying around - if you happened to have a military VC front axle there somewhere let me know - I need one for a project.

If the truck up top has a semi-floating (anything) back axle it might be a one ton, as they weren't daft enough to use semis on anything heavier than that.
