Or is this a manufacturer's Part number? They are 16 inches wide. 1957 Power wagon wm300 original 10.000 mile truck, 1964 dodge Polara Convertible numbers matching

I run Super Tricks that are bolted together and so do many others do here. Many of those old wheels are in high demand for nostalgia dragster restorations. home of the Sox and Martin Hemi Duster

It only runs in the mid 9's though. That custom front trailer axle should help keep it going straight in the 1/4. All joking aside who ever did the work on the chassis really did a nice job. The car was never finished. I think it's going to be a fine 1/4 mile car when Im done with it. 1957 Power wagon wm300 original 10.000 mile truck, 1964 dodge Polara Convertible numbers matching

I hope you get a better front suspension before you race home of the Sox and Martin Hemi Duster

Probably where they got the idea for the Drag Pak wheels. Looks like ones I had on a Bock trailer. Now thats old school.
