Info Need re 20" CMP Rims

[Bob Carriere]

Bonjour Joao Bosco

Hang in there ........ may have some wheels for you. Details to follow.

Color of the engine is the subject of long inconclusive discussion.
Officially General Motors never kept detailed information on the exact paint formulation for the engine color...... so grey.....blue gray....some on black and military rebuilt engines were sometimes painted Olive drab green........ personally I prefer the blueish grey color that contrast well with the other black generators, fans, starter, etc accessories.

In the end it is for YOUR truck and what you decide will be perfect.

Patience my friend.

Sorry for the response delay, im on the road out in Alberta at the moment..ill be back in the shop by wednesday and will do my best to take the measurements in the pdf.At the moment my wheels are in use but I recently came into a pair of axles I think may be from a lynx but am not certain.they are a GM style axle front and rear chunk offset to the passenger side with cmp hubs and 20" combat wheels, but the steering is set up for the left side of the vehicle as seen from inside the passenger compartment facing the windshield.They are destined for another project and when I am sucessful in fitting an adapter to standard 10 on 11.25 pattern wheels there will be 4 combat wheels available. There is a local company called Vanguard steel that has large round bar stock in steel.i've used them for stock for flywheels and no doubt you could cnc some wheels from a billet cheaper than making a die for the rquired megaton press..just a thought.

ill put up the dimensions asap.
cheers

here are the measurements as best i could get them.The bends have a radius to them and so i tried to measure to where the radius started or stopped as per the pdf file.also the front and rear wheel sections fit together full width as a kind of mirror image,so i snapped some extra pics to give you the idea of whats going on there.

Hope this helps

Cheers
Corey

Hi Corey

Thanks for your efforts in measuring the rim, the measurements help Joao from Brazil who the measurement question was originally posed.

The information though are also a good addition to the general CMP knowledge base.

I've saved off a copy of your measurements to my CMP information photo file.

Cheers Phil

its too bad they did what they did with the dish in the centre..if they had kept it flat a person could put together two rear halves and have a wheel fit for a decently wide tire.
