I’ve got a 7/8 BSF tap and die to clean up the stud and nut threads in he rims once everything is painted.

Don't Canadian wheels have UNC (then ANC) threads ? It is quite possible that you have a mixture depending on the origin of the truck.

I removed the RF tyres off the CS8 rims with the help of a chainsaw. It cut through the tough old heavy thick rubber with ease. Cut a V wedge and chisel through the bead cable wire

These rims are all stamped “General Motors Canada, 1941”. The outer clamping bolts/nuts are 7/8-11 BSF. The studs to hold the rims to the hubs is 5/8-18 left and right thread depending on what side of the vehicle it’s on.
The rims are all now painted. Next up will be cleaning the threads in both the studs and nuts then installing the tires.

Picked up the new tubes yesterday from my order off of Dobermann Tire. Very fast service and great to buy from.
Today I managed to get two tires fully installed on the rims with everything going smoothly. The third tire was being a bit harder to get the bead to pop on the rim. Checking after supper and it popped onto the rim. This leaves two more rims to go.
