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.

Finally all 5 tires are mounted back on the rims. All went rather easily considering how many posts are on here with people having trouble.

Deflate them and you'll find out if they popped in place or if they merely covered the edge of the rim. You should always deflate then re-inflate an inner tube type tire anyway to make sure the inner tube has not folded over on itself during installation.

I just painted them red from paint I had. I seem to remember a period red was called signal red.

I finally had some time to sort out all the seats for the truck. It take a total of five. Two in the cab and three in the back. I’ll be using the raised bases for up front.
It was interesting to find some of the original paint colour on removing a couple of parts. Also the grey primer was a nice touch. I also had to replace one of the seat pans due to smoke rust holes. Some quick work with a Zip disk and the welder fixed things up.
