Model A Ford Wheels


I've found a few items that are not stock on the truck. In 1929 the wheels were 21" in diameter. This truck has the 19" wheels which were stock in 1930, it's not an issue because few will know and you sure can't tell. I might change them some day, but I'm building the truck to drive.
Little Guys sandblasted and powder coated the wheels. "Billie Bob" did a great job for a great price. Gene at Discount Tire was able to get the tires from Coker Tire in Chattanooga cheaper than I could order direct, great service from both places. Mac's had a hubcap sale and Advance had a sale on chrome lug nuts. Low cost is good!
After sandblasting and painting the hubs, the old girl is sitting on the ground and looking good with new shoes.
