There's nothing wrong with bonded linings, if the lining material is designed for bonding.

Fort Wayne Clutch is an absolutely top-notch rebuilder if you can't find someone local.

"At reasonable cost" is an ill-defined concept. I don't have a line on a set of 20s, and swapped texts with Josh last week and know he's no longer sitting on the auction load he hauled home from Kansas years ago. Since you already have a set of new 20" tires, if nobody speaks up offering a set of wheels, I'd suggest calling American Wheel Specialist about a custom built set of 20s. They are located in Kennewick, WA. Another sources would be Wheels Now in the Milwaukee area. You might also check with Chuck Mantiglia of Chuck's Trucks to see if he has a set. Here is Chuck's web page. Stu

I could be wrong, but I don't think bonded linings are supposed to be used on larger trucks.

The ones on the front of my truck are bonded but when they were installed I have no idea. If memory serves me correctly the rear pads are riveted on. Many, many years ago I used brass rivets and new linings on a 40 ford that I rebuilt,,,,,,,,,,,in high school.

Thanks for the help. .....Roger

The down side will be shipping. It's not cheap by any means.
I'm in the reverse situation of you as trying to find 7.5 or 8.25 traction style tires up here in the great white north is proving to be a royal PITA.
I'll drop you a PM with my email and we can maybe figure something out that makes everyone happy.

Capn, GREAT offer, tremendously appreciated, however, I believe the distance is just too great.
I believe that 2 locking ring 20's would be the ticket though.
I would use them as the outside duels and thus increase safety to others.
I shall trudge on
