I think I know to look for a split ring on the bad truck wheels but I think I am wrecking out an F-6 that has good 20" wheels on it.
The last picture I think is the split wheel.

#1 I think this is good.
#2 I think this is good.
#3 I'm not sure on this one.
#4 I think this is good, how you like the shot of the rear axle?
the first wheels pictured are widow makers, the last picture is a lock ring wheel and if not too rusty is probably worth saving. I like the picture of the rear axle through the handhole!
Is the widow maker a two piece rim with a locking ring or what?
You say the #5 is a lock ring wheel so it would be the one someone might want?
Thanks,
Bill

Ok, I am going to show my lack of knowledge. What years were the widow maker rims made. I have a 1940 1.5 stuck back for later restoration and was just curious. Haven't looked closely at the rims
The first record I have for them is 1948. They survived the NHTSA/IIHS failed recall effort of the early 1970s, but as an outcome the manufacturers agreed to stop their production. Kelsey Hayes was last to list them in 1976/77 iirc. So you are hopefully in the clear, but keep in mind that wheels got swapped when damaged, swapped in fleet shops, etc. Best to check them. Stu
