Tires & Wheels Needed

[Zippi]

I'm looking for a set of tires and wheels to purchase that match what's in the pic.  Anyone have a link to aftermarket parts they could give me.  Thanks fellows.

That looks like a Marmon Harrington 4 wheel drive conveesion on thay truck. I dont know of anyone that made the wheels in resin in Recent years. Chuck Most would likely know if they were made. The tires I have seen from Scenes Unlimited in the past.

I may have butched the company name of the 4x4 conversion.

Marmon-Herrington is the name.

I think there is a die-cast Dodge Power Wagon of the same era that would have similar wheels.

You want us to give you aftermarket parts? Just kidding!

It's a WW II military tread design in an OD more suited to a CCKW, but with taller sidewalls so they'll fit a much smaller rim.

Chariots of Fire has made some to fit larger rims for a few of his builds, and probably still has the molds and might make you a set...though you'd need to reduce the diameter of the centers to get the look above.

WW II Jeep tires of the era used the same tread design, but the OD was much smaller than that pictured above, though the ID would be close.

Tires from a 1/24 Wespe CCKW would get you the tread and approximate OD, but the ID is much too large as well.

I have both 1/25 and 1/24 Power Wagon diecasts, though only the Ertl 1/25 is here. Its tires and rims are reasonably close to the OP's photo, but maybe a little undersized in the tire OD.

You can often  find broken diecasts for parts for reasonable money.

The Danbury Mint version in 1/24 is considerably more expensive than the Ertl, though because it's a slightly larger scale, the tire/wheel combo might look closer to what's on the OP's photo if he built it using tha 1/25 '37/'38 Ford pickup kit. These can be found broken, for parts, as well.
