More 13" rim questions

[Paul Singleton]

Just to add to the wheel mystery, the F8 that I sold to David Moore had 600:16 tires mounted on it. The previous owner to me (I bought the truck at his estate auction) had told me that he sourced the wheels from Princess Auto in the late 1950’s because he couldn’t find 13” tires. The 16” wheels were split rims that had a lock ring similar to commercial trucks and a flat plate centre with the CMP 6 bolt pattern. I wonder if the six bolt wheel pattern was also used on industrial equipment in the 40’s and 50’s and used 16” tires. There were pictures on the old forum of the f8 when David purchased it about 2004, but I don’t know how to access them.
