Art & Inspiration Wide Five Picture Thread

Do you have a picture of the truck wheel?

 

The "Heavy Duty" truck wheel has a different center, without the "artillery" spokes used on all other wide-5 wheels. They are stamped in the lug area with either the Ford logo or a "KH" for Kelsey Hayes. Heres a picture stollen off the internet...

 

The 1939 - 1941 Truck wheels above came in 5" width and 5.5" width. I just picked up a 5" this weekend.

 

The last roadster that I had incorporated wide five wheels and hubs. They came with a Frankland quick change rear end that I had bought. The fluted magnesium hubs were from a late 60's NASCAR roundy round car. The drums that came with the set up were 3" X 12" finned aluminum. Brakes I ended up using were for a 1-Ton Ford Truck. The wheels were polished aluminum sprint car wheels. The whole setup rally looked cool and was very unique. I've never seen a drum brake setup like this. No power booster and was probably one of the best stopping cars I have ever owned.

 

A couple of my 39 fronts and 41 3/4 ton 5" rears before the tires were mounted.
We are chroming the hubs....

 

The chrome looks good!

 

Nice looking wheels, I hope to get a pair of truck wheels for my current project.

 

Here are some to bring up a old thread
