Re: Rare camper wheels ?

Yep, the General made great looking trucks straight off the line. An old worn paint turned to some ugly shade crapped out truck and put it back to original glory and you'll have a looker that stands up to any flavor of the week custom.

The 16" rims were split rim with tires available to suit Custom Camper requirements.

Summit sells Wheel Vintiques in 8-lug and 16" diameter. I believe they offer 17" as well. You can get the look of the clincher 16.5 with a modern safety bead in a size with a full variety of tire choices.
