Wheel Identity

[dannyi]

Found this wheel in my stash and like the fact it's a deep steel wheel but have no idea where it came from. Any ideas on make or model it belongs to?

one possibility is the modified stocker car hauler kit

i think they came as optional wheels on the 5some ford pickup but they may also have belonged to the spare tires for the race car that didnt come with the set (just the spares)

a second option might be the DOH roscoes cruiser, that has some nice deep steelies

Danny, it MIGHT be one of the wheels from AMT'S Mid 70's Blazer kit. It came with deep wheels like those. :lol:

The Modified Stocker Truck Wheels are standard issue Ford Truck, and this is not it...

It's not from the Monaco or '53 Ford Mod stocker hauler kits.

The wheels in the Blazer kit had 6 lug wheels IIRC....

...thanks fellas, I appreciate the info. If I'm not mistaken this wheel has been in my stash box since the late 60's so I have no idea what it belongs to. It looks like for now it's going to be called "deep dish steel wheel"...thanks again guys.....

looks like the wheels in amt 57 chevy pepper shaker..

AMT 49 Ford has deep steel wheels, 5 lug - but yours look a little different.

I think it is from one of the revell tri five chevys probably the 57.what does the back look like?

..it had a narrow tube with a hole for a metal axle but I removed that to cast it....

well if it was originally chrome I would say amt/lindberg 34 ford pickup,if it was white plastic I think the original 63'revell 57 chevy. I don't have the 57 chevy kit to confirm .I will check the 34 later if I can find it.

that sounds like MPC to me

wasnt the monaco i mentioned before MPC ?

[Eshaver]

Almost sounds like one of A M T's 57 Ford fairlane re- issues . Several A M T kits had them . Ed Shaver

...I apologize guys, completely slipped my mind...it was chrome. I threw it in with a bunch of other parts I was de-chroming awhile back. I'm trying my hand at casting some older wheels and rims. If it's a model specific item it would be good to know, but I guess I can call it "deep dish steel wheel" if anything......

I just cked the chrome tree on my AMT 57 Chevy and it looks to be the same. If you have a pic of the back side I could confirm it. Beautiful wheels, eh?

[dannyi]

...I think 57' Chevy is it. I have a partial kit that I got in a trade and sure enough this is what I found.....the back sides are a bit different but other then that their the same.

..thanks for all the help guys...I knew I came to the right place!
