not a clue, but a great looking truck. I like the shiney wheels, but the Dayton's are getting rare, I'd leave'm on.

The main reason that people change them out is because most places don't like dealing with split rim wheels when the tires need changed.

I think Accuride makes a rim that mounts on the dayton spokes and isn't the split rim design. takes modern tubed tires. Just looking at this link 10 stud was an option for 600's and 700's you would most likely need to find a donor truck though.

A previous post talked about Accuride and they are local, and have the correct hoops for tubeless tires on Dayton hubs! There is also another local company that makes simulators for Daytons! Problem solved... http://www.realwheels.com/product/simulators-19-5/

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

We are still running 2 Dodge trucks. A 66 CT800 and a 75 CNT800. Both have Dayton wheels with no issues. The 75 needed larger front tires "16.00" so 22.5 tubeless wheels were used. Otherwise both trucks have 10.00 x 20's on them. I believe if you wanted Bud type wheels. The drums and spokes are replaced with hubs and drums. This sounds easy but you would have to find the right Diameter drum that would fit your spindle bearing hub and wheel bolt pattern.... I have seen Bud wheels on Dodge trucks like yours, but they were usually lighter models like D500 D600. Do you have any School bus bone yards? They seem to have bud type wheels usually.
