My trailer
I have a trailer with what I think are axles out of a 50's era truck
front end. These have 6 lug 15 inch wheels. Can anyone tell me what wheels would fit as replacements? The center caps for these axles have screw on dust caps. Someone even cut the wheel hole wider with a torch to make it fit. Would any 6 lug wheel fit? I can email pictures if that helps. |

Used to be some Datsun trucks that used the same pattern, too. I don't know of anything more recent |

I don't know of anything more recent If they had to cut out the wheels to fit its probably a Ford hub, and those are probably GM or Dodge rims. 1/2 ton Ford wheels should fit. Visit any local junkyard and ask to see if you can try some old rims. |

The old Datsun pu wheel used a larger center hole too, I think |

My guess is 30's Chev car. I believe 50's and 60's Chev PU wheels fit. Steve |

The bearings probally have a manufacturer/part number on them.Check your
local auto parts stores. I own an old trailer.It has two axels and four wheels, five spoke iron/steel wheels.The wheels are inboard, not outboard like most trailers nowadays. cuhulin |

@enews5.newsguy.com: > What are they ball bearings or tapered roller bearings? Shouldn't matter much. Bearings are pretty much available for anything you want to name. But Stryped wants YOU to find the bearings. Otherwise, he wouldn't be asking you if they were available, he'd be calling a bearing shop. LLoyd |
