16" wheels is correct and extremely uncommon.
It is weirdly optioned. I love it.

Nice save!!

I've owned quite a few of these old trucks over the years and never knew 16" wheels were an option on a half ton. It is very weirdly optioned. I've done some investigating and I am the third owner. The truck was originally a Albequerque Police Department truck. That explains a lot of the funky electronics under the hood and probably the funky options too. I just wish they had opted for the "D" in the fifth digit instead of the "j". I'm pretty pumped about the old truck. I'm not veering far from stock with this one. It won't be getting its 16" wheels back. I'm thinking lowered a bit with 15" steelies and dog dish caps.

I had a 76 Warlock with a 400 4bbl. The guy I bought it from was getting a divorce and didn't want his wife to get it. Came with the same bucket style bench seat the the LRE had. Needed a left rear fender and paint, but it ran like a scalded dog.

No, the factory wheels are long gone. They've been replaced with some 15" white wagon wheels. I wish the originals were still on it.

Unfortunately life threw a few curves a few years back and the old club cab was sold. All good now though.
