Dodge T-212 8-cwt truck only. The MCP 15-cwt’s have the same 8-bolt WD split rim as CMP 15-cwt trucks.

here are some slight differences wed have observed..... the six stud wheels MUST have a different taper than a regular CMP 8 bolts version......as the 900x16 tires do slip down easier than the 5 degree C15a rims.

The six stud wheels/rims I have seen all have the Kelsey-Hayes stamping which includes the date of manufacturing.

It also seems from comparing GM parts listing that the early first 200 Lynx Mk I also shared the six stud brake drum on the front axle.

Comments????

The six-stud CMP wheel was used on 8-cwt trucks. It doesn’t have a different bead taper, it simply has a smaller diameter as explained in Mike’s thread here:
