65 1ton wheel

Dually or single rear wheel?
>It is a 6 hole

My '65 dually has 6 holes on a 7 1/4" circle. They are basically nonexistent. They all rusted out years ago. I never found any even using the Internet.
> or something that will
>work in it's place
You might not like this approach, but if you swap rears for a later one with 8-holes, those wheels are a dime a dozen everywhere. Front end will be more of a problem. I had a machine shop convert a pair of 8-hole wheels to 6-hole. Expensive but not as hard as replacing the entire front end (you can't just swap hubs or spindles).

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 29-Mar-01 AT 06:55 PM (EST)[/font][p]How are you measuring your bolt pattern? I have a rim that measures 7 1/4" if measured directly across from each other and 6 1/4" if I drop back 1 hole. I have a dual wheel rim and one without the split ring. I am pretty sure they are 16.5" wheels.
