Default Other Wheel Options for Early Chevrolet 1.5 ton Trucks...

Finally I got the wheels on the truck... Despite nor being 10.50-16, I think that they look great... I am very happy with the result. The next thing to tackle are the additional front hub studs...

Default LRDP truck update...

The work continues on the truck with some small body repairs needed as well as adding the following:

1- Sand mat brackets

2- Fuel, oil, and water cans (2 Gal/Source?) with holder...

3- Engine overflow coolant tank

4- Spare tire bracket

If anyone has specific details/measurements on these it would be greatly appreciated... Thank you.

The truck looks great.We can get that type of tyre in NZ but here they are agricultural tyres and only rated for 30mph. Those 2 gallon POW cans are readily available in NZ at $NZ30-50 each (Google "Trademe NZ"). Once you have got the cans you also have the dimensions of the can-holder. As for the sand mat brackets, I think most people just scale them off the WW2 photos - thats what we did anyway.
