Tires

 The truck came to me with a miss-match of 7.50x16 tubbed tires.  The original build specified Dunlap (hard to find in the USA).  On break down of the wheels I found the tubes to be in OK condition but curiously all missing the shraider valves.  All but one of the heavy rubber gaiters (that go between the tube and the rim) are usable but all have. Lot of rust imbedded from the wheel.  I used a wire wheel to clean off all the rust and them sprayed the remainder of the imbedded bits with Ospho (which convert rust) and then rinse with water and rub down with a Scotch pad.





Vent seals

 Vent seals I got some seals from a friend who had them specially made.  The are much softer than the available originals or aftermarket one...
