Re: chrome dually wheels

Before Alcoas these were the hot lick. Never popular back east, but in the west I saw many a truck running these. In the '8s I put a set on a '70 CST/30 I had. Tears later, I ended up buying a '71 Custom/30 wrecker from the guy I sold the '70 to. He had put the chrome Budds on it, so I got them back (not sure what he did with the west coast mirrors I had chromed). all I know is one of the rears had pretty bad chrome from sitting and I looked high and low/right and left for one and never found any. I had a WTB on here for years as well as other classifieds. Its hard to believe they all vanished. Maybe that clean set is still out there waiting for you. I dig them because they are the only era-correct custom wheel for '70s and earlier dual wheel trucks
