Chevrolet 1311X3 15-cwt 4x2 GS truck

..... the elusive 18 inch rims????? they are using the split rims with the standard GM bolt pattern..... a little easier with more steel to work with than a 16 inch rim....

My best opinion!!!!!

Looks like a split rim but the rimbolts are on the back side......

Looks different than rims on previous photo..... but still large enough to be 18 inches....

...... that truck has been around some rough times.... no water expansion tank.... most of the waterfall grill still in place .....civvy bumper with no brush guard.....

so many variations.....

Found on another site: “Associated Press and a journalist called William McGaffin: would anyone know how to find the story he wrote on the LRDG?”
