Those do look nice. I think I have the same ones but it's been years since I had them out of the box. Are those 22.5" rims?

Hi Leon;

They certainly look nice. I'd found a pair many years ago painted over with spray paint but appeared perfect. I had them professionally polished after stripping them clean and they'll go onto one of my trucks someday. Mine are 22.5" also.

These are 22.5 rims.in europe almost every tire is 22.5

24.5 ride softer:) And they are more American:):)

Nice look anyway and chosen right in style .

Did you redrill the stud holes for the old style nuts or swapped the hubs?

Wut?

You can use hub piloted wheels on old studs if machine the holes. Otherwise (and the correct way) is to install newre style hubs for newer hub piloted wheels.

On the pic of the rear hub you can see wheel nuts for the old style wheels. But seems not easy to find such ones in the design of the front ones on the truck. So I expected some mod.

Those front wheels are old Alcoas,the first tubeless aluminum wheels they made just had the 5 holes and they used the conventional budd studs,not hub pilot. They are a little had to find,but not impossible, I have a few .

They look really nice on period correct trucks.
