Default Re: Wheels and Tires for 1966 GMC 1-ton

I had the same problem with my '63 3/4 ton GMC. No one wanted to put new tires on the split rims or even remove the old tires.

After flailing around for a year I ended up spending money and bought Wheel Vintiques wheels (WVI-82-660804) and LT225/75R-16 General Grabber HD E
tires and got it over with. Most definitely not cheap, but it looks pretty OEM and it's safer and they work well. The radials make steering at low speed easier than the old bias ply tires too.

There may be better/cheaper options for used stuff but I didn't find what I wanted doing that.
