Has anyone converted their split ring rims to tubeless conventional wheels? I have a 1-1/2 ton truck that’s a fire engine with 20 inch wheels. Where did you go for the new rims?

There is no practical tubeless wheel/tire combination that will work on your truck. What problem are you having with your original wheels?

Hi Mike: thanks for the reply. It has just become more difficult to find someone to work on the wheels. I’m going to replace tires soon and it looks like I may have to do the work myself. That’s OK, but I’m not getting any younger.

Doug,
I'm 72 years old. I grew up with these wheels. I don't fear them but I respect them. If you would like to talk, call me at 573 592 1991 during work hours (I'm the boss so I can talk about old Chevy trucks any time I want) My mobile number is 573 864 6539 for evenings and weekends. Or send your number and I will call you, if you prefer.

Mike
