Wheels

I believe these wheels are original to the truck, having been installed on this factory registered truck for it's intended duty on the Dam project in Turkey.  These wheels, and the Capstan winch, and some other factory installed features seem to lend credence to that theory.

Ex-military split rim, which allows for ease of tyre changes, was used mainly by the military but was also available as an option for civvies. Part no. 217267.

The use inner tubes and 7.50x16 tires.  The tires will be replaced during the build but the wheels will be rehab'd and use as they are original, and in keeping with my current objective to stay true to the factory build.
