I've searched high and low trying to find pics of the newer GM trucks in the military versions. I'm not referring to the popular M-series we all have, know, read and hear about. I'm talking about the newer bodied trucks that sit on factory-installed 6" lifts and loaded with defense stuff. I've seen pics of them before but now can't find one.

Anyone know where to find them?
 
Next question:

What are these rims off of exactly? The ad on eBay quotes "This is a set of four government surplus double bead lock wheels off a late model GM 3/4 and 1 ton HD four wheel drive truck." :

Not sure what they came off of but the add says they are 16X8 and I emailed him and found out the back spacing is 7 inches (same as a h1 rim). After thinking about it they might have been for the first generation civilian H1's.

They're 16" rims. I won a set on eBay and they're on the way to me now. The ad lists them as Hutchinson but I don't see them on any Hutchinson website, etc. Thats why I was asking about the military trucks and the quote above about them being from 3/4 and 1 ton GM trucks.

I don't think they're 7". Look at the pic, it sits down a little deeper than the lip/bead. I would say they're around a 5" backspacing. Will have to wait til my rims get here and measure them.

Thats kinda what I thought by looking at them but he did say 7'' maybe someone else should email him to make sure.
