That would be a Conventional or Commercial rim, Modified Conventional Pattern (MCP) trucks have WD pattern (split) rims (13, 16 and 20”)

Well Harry, Casey and his entourage showed up today to pick up your Conventional or commercial (thanks for the correction Hanno) rim. Took 3 tries to get one that was worth sending. The first one had some swelling of the metal where the rivets hold the two halves together. We almost had the ring of the second one when Casey noticed it was 6 hole. Third time was the charm and we got a decent rim. Got the 70 year old rubber off OK, and while Casey and the gang went to lunch I gave it a quick sandblast. Of course, then the first real rain we have seen for a while started, so as an added bonus you got a free contractor grade garbage bag.

By the way, all three were not split ring, but rather the safety ring type.

I would have painted it but the weather is now un-conducive to drying.

If you come across any 105 howitzer stuff keep me in mind. My want list is getting shorter, but still plenty on there.
