Josh - Here's the Budd #47210 that Mark needs. It's a 16" x 5.5". It has an "RHP" ring. You'll find that stamped into the ring like you saw on the other wheels you looked at today. It's a single wheel design. You won't find it on a dually, so finding the numbers will be a P.I.T.A. Stu

Jeff/Nicolle -

Subscribing. I might be interested in those lock ring 20's. I showed a couple pics to Stu of my other F6, and will be looking to make a complete set out of what I have, based on wheel width.

Well, I'm pretty sure the top one is the Power Wagon wheel. And the third one is clearly the 19.5. The rest I guess are 17s, all with Goodyear split rings, but without numbers they all look pretty much alike. Looks like you'd need an 8' cheater bar to have a prayer of removing lug nuts. Or a gas wrench. Stu

Ken - Have you read the whole thread? Please see comment numbers 3 through 11. Those 17.5s will work for you. Stu

Yeah, it works now, thanks to Ross for pointing it out to me, I all but given up. I mentioned this wheel to Josh, so thought I'd post a pic to show it.

Hey Stu...17.5 .???..I have 4, 17" rims and 1, 16 "rim...and now 2 .19.5 rims...all for one truck...in the end I am hopeing for 5, 17" widows for show ,and 5 ,19s for driveing...it seem's counter productive to add a 17.5 to the mix..all in a 6 lug...for an orphan truck it seem's to have a heck of a lot of choices..

You know I think those 17s should be junked. Filling out a set of 16" lock rings would be easy, just as original looking, and safe. Or, the 17.5" tubeless opton would also look and be an original package, just from a later model year. Your 19.5s will hopefully be the best of all options and look original too. You just need three more of them. If you've saved my email address we'd like to see pictures of what Stockton Wheel built for you. Stu

Ken, next time i go back there i will see if i can find a 17in WM, as long as it has a flat tire on it, or no tire. Hey Stu, if i get and keep those 17.5 tubeless for myself what kind of truck do i need to buy to put them on? 53-56? thats the best idea i have had today. and another stupid question, can i run radial tires on the budd 72070's or do they have to be bias?
