OEM 6 lug white spokes.
- Thread starter 82355
- Start date
I've got a set in the shed, ended up with hubcaps instead of da spokes.
I'm still looking for a set in my area. I think they would look sharp on my red/white swb.

Not sure they'd look good on my
first gen....... But those caps......... Hmmmm

I still have my rusty set, but I have been planning to retire them and switch to the CUCV rims next time I need tires. I like the dog dish look a lot more.
But I don't know that mine are OEM. I know they were swapped with a different K10 right before I bought the truck. Lost a nice set of Rally rims with new rubber in that swap.
Looking back, I wish I could have paid the price difference to keep those rims with the good tires.

I need a unit worthy of running them...

I have a set on my 76. Stock 15x10's with center caps. A little rust, so I'm blasting and painting.

Says 10X15 B. Don't know what the B is for. Pretty sure they're 15x10s. Here's the wheels and tag.
10x15B is the original tire size, not the wheel size. "B" means Bias-ply tires. Same as "R" means radial tires in all the modern stuff (e.g. 235/75R15).

Interesting.....learn something new every day. Can't imagine one of these on bias plys.
I always thought that "B" stood for "Load Range B",which would be a 4 ply tire..."C" = 6 ply, "D" = 8 ply,"E" = 10 ply..
Well, you're pretty sharp, Robert. And I've been wrong plenty of times. This might be one of them.
I might be wrong too!...usually the load rating is "separate" from the tire size designation,so it is possible a "B"in the size designation means Bias,and the "R" indeed does indicate a radial tire..
Bias plys were just being phased out about the same time I got my learners permit...but I ran many of them well into the late 80's,mostly those white lettered G-60-14's I'd roast on my GTO in a month or less..
I was amazed how much nicer my '66 Buicks rode and handled with 15" radials on them compared to bias tires...the GTO was a lot better on radials too,even skinny ones--those cool looking Bias ply 60 series tires were like driving on ice in the rain,it was real easy to spin out with them//

Zombie thread, I know
I'mDad put a set on his base model 86 K5.
Red truck with a white topper. Looked great, but the 305 and 3.08 gears killed it.
Later he gave me a choice between that and his 87 R10.
Lord knows I wanted the K5, but I needed the pickup.
That was a hard choice. Dad loved his K5.
