Need some pictures

Happy New Year to all!!

Does anyone have some good close up pictures of some cast spoke wheels (both front and rear) you could send me on e-mail?
I need them for reference material for my 57' dump truck scale model build I'm working on.

Thank you for your help....

These were made by Dayton, Gunite, Erie, and Clark. Here's a few pics. The last two have adapters to convert a standard Budd style lug mount to a Dayton style rim mount. The red wheel is from a F-8. The adapters were somewhat common on the big trucks. Stu

Here's a website with several pictures of large trucks running the spoke style wheels.

This is is a little older model, but it is a good close up.

You could get away with a few of them

Do you have a link to a pic hosting site where you have some pics? I know I'm not the only one around here who might have an interest. There's tons of us that appreciate more than just blue oval stuff

Excellent work!

I always enjoyed modeling in my younger days. I don't have the room to do it right now but sometimes I get the itch to put on together. Maybe when one of the kids moves out I can take over the space.....lol

Thanks for sharing
Bobby
