Hey guys, i have a question that maybe some one knows the answer to.
I have a 1979 Chevy Dump Truck (i know real expo rig!) that i use for hauling toys and mulch. The tires are spent and they are dualies in the rear, sized 16.5"x8.75". That tire size is pretty aukward and I cant find a suitable replacement for cheap (its over a $1000 for all 6). At my workplace we have an endless amount of 16" Van and truck takeoff tires for free with plenty of life left. My question is what other chevys of that vintage share that bolt pattern or could be acceptable replacements for the 16.5's that i have on there now? Any ideas or places to look?
I tried a couple google searches on the topic but nothing really conclusive! Thanks guys :sombrero:
