Yesterday I made the statement that '55.2 GMC 25x models
did not have a dual rear wheel option. I did some
more reading through the Master Parts manual last
night (yeah, I know I should get a life) and found
that there was one option for dual rear wheels on
a 55 second series one ton truck.
The following information is from the Master Parts manual.
Year Wheel Tire Tube or Rear
size size Tubeless Wheels
55-59 17x5.0 7.00x17 Tube Single
55-59 17x6.0 7.50x17 Tube Single
56-59 17.5x5.25 7.00x17.5 Tubeless Single
56-59 17.5x5.25 8.00x17.5 Tubeless Single
55-59 18x5.0 7.00x18 Tube Double
56-59 19.5x5.25 8.00x19 Tubeless Single
56-59 19.5x5.25 8.00x19 Tubeless Double
The 19.5x5.25 was the only one piece rim listed. I'm
no wheel/tire expert, but I question that the 17.5x5.25
wheel sizes were listed as multi-piece wheels using
tubeless tires.
