Re: Correct GMC vs. Chevy Truck Wheels, 1960-66
Finally found the comparison pics I took of the wheels, side by side. The black wheel is 1/2 inch wider. It is GMC from 1960. The wheel on right is Chevrolet from the era of 1960-66. These pictures show the differences in the two of the most commonly seen wheels on 1/2 ton GMC and Chevy trucks from 1960-62. The differences are subtle from 50 feet away. But up close they are very different. Note that the Chevy wheel has the "Nubbins" along the outside edge,perhaps to hold beauty rings or full wheel hubcaps. The GMC wheel does not have them. If someone knows the exact year model of the Chevy wheel, please let me know. Thanks for any help, Greg Mead
