Hi Guys,
The M37 that's rotting in the woods by my friend's house has some unusual wheels on it. They sort of look military, but I don't recognize them. Can anyone tell me what these rims are from?
thanks,
bob

They be 30's Ford AA truck wheels. The bolt pattern is correct but they are very narrow.
The ''40's GM 10-bolt wheel is sometimes found with every other hole enlarged for Budd nuts.

Could be Dodge rims as well, the local junkyard has an old wrecker with the same rims that's a Dodge dually. Probably 30s, looked like 1-1/2 or possibly a 2 ton. Next I go out there, I'll grab a couple pics.

The bolt pattern on the 20" Dodge wrecker wheels will turn out to not fit the PW/M37
