19.5" wheels? Wouldn’t factory have been 15.5 or something a lot smaller?

I don’t know the history, but those are the same kind of wheels as my 1961 Ford would have had originally... and 19.5" too. Those tires are nearly impossible to find, now.

Oh, wow. I love it, and want it. THIS is something I’d sell my 1961 Ford for. Not much out there I’d say that about...

Hm, I had no idea! Maybe more popular with railroads or forest service?

Aren’t they basically heavy truck size tires?

In diameter, but not width - I haven’t done any searching, but a friend who is steeped in old Fords and Jeeps has bitched about finding tires for them. He drove a 1960 F250 all summer that spent the last 30 years in a junkyard. It still had what he thought were factory original spark plug wires, and a few other things like that. Anyway, that truck had those wheels and some questionable old tires.

My 1952 Dodge has 16" rims, Budd made a lot of wheels in that size. 900x16 is what the military was putting on power wagons in the 50's. I don’t know if they changed a lot in ten years.
