Re: 68 k20 2 piece firstone rims
I'm also showing the markings on the ring and the rim. my rings are all date coded 1-68 while so far two of my rims are date coded 2-9-68 and 2-3-68.
I have not looked closely yet at the other two rims for date coded info.
A spare tire on 20's was an option so there are only the 4 rims for my truck.
interestingly enough my "spare" is of the 69 and later type and it is a split rim also a firestone rim and is date coded 4-72.
Learn to do your own split rim servicing. its not hard or dangerous. unless your a complete idiot. I took one rim to a shop and they chased me off . I took it to another shop and they were idiots who used digging bars to remove the ring. ruined it. a Third shop, up in Tucson wanted an additional 45 bucks a rim to do the two piece rims.
tires, tubes, flaps, mounting and balancing. adds up very quickly.
La Vie.
I am looking for two 67-68 rims with a 1-68 or 2-68 date code if anybody out there has them. I will trade for a 72 split rim date coded 4-72
