That's a Baddass truck. It's definitely got potential. My son in law's family owns a towing company. His Dad loves to see these old wreckers.

Very cool truck, I love how there's an oil gauge mounted at the actual oil port in the block. They checked the oil pressure as often as they checked the oil level hahaha!
Thanks for taking the time to post pictures.

There are 2 types of rims on that truck there are 4 of the original rims and two rims that say budd on the pattern surface and have a split lock ring in them unlike the orignals.
i have all 6 of the original rims but 2 of them that are off of the truck are rotted too bad to use and have bald tires on them

I'm not convinced that this and possibly others are not an RH-5.


The ones that have a split lock ring are fine (if in serviceable condition). Both examples you posted are split lock ring types:



RH-5 rims like this split at essentially the "drop center" with a solid ring that twists on are not:


I just really want to make sure you know what you have so you are able to safely work on, drive, and show your awesome truck.
