'63 Pickup wheels



Arrgh!!!  Some recently retired machinist could make some good extra pocket change making brake drums and the big-six bolt wheels for these trucks.  We need to find him.  You all should start looking at fathers, in-laws, uncles, etc., and see if you can find one who is just enjoying himself too much.

That said, the problem with the wheels is that places willing to work on split rims are getting rare, but when you try to go to regular wheels you find out that the large 6-bolt pattern just can't be found.

Somebody else replied to one of my posts about 6-bolt wheels, he was looking for a non-split rim set.  I had said that "IH didn't seem to have bothered with 6-bolt," but I was talking in the context of '69-'75 trucks, which have very common 5 and 8 bolt patterns.

I think this is something I'm really going to chat people up about at the upcoming Nationals, since I plan to someday own just such a truck.
