I just purchased a 1956 Studebaker 1-ton truck. It has the old split rims and bias ply tires. I'd like to replace both the rims and tires. I'm not finding a lot of good information on where to go or who to use, though I've been searching since I purchased it two weeks ago. My local tire shop doesn't even want to touch the tires/rims. Oh, it has a dually on the rear, that is also making the search interesting. Thanks in advance for your advice, suggestions, comments.

Are these 16 inch rims? You might try Stockton or some other aftermarket supplier and also placing a post on Studebaker Truck Talk (http://www.network54.com/Forum/23885/).

I have heard that International 1 Ton Trucks had the same wheel with one piece rims, if you have an old Truck wrecking yard near you.
