Be careful when saying "known wheel" when studying this for posterity. No wheel on any truck is known. Only factory photos, literature or decipherable markings on wheels are facts. I have seen that 60% of 1957 Chevy trucks have the fender spear on backwards. That's Barrett-Jackson $30K trucks built by so called experts. So we can't go by a restored truck.

Not to hijack the thread and take off on a tangent, but Ken, the next time you see a pic of a 57 with it on backwards please forward to me - I love to watch for that kind of stuff and have never thought to save one when I saw that....
