I'd like to know the rim diameters and tire sizes on the "Coke" panel truck. Rims appear very small diameter for that era, with giant tire cross-sections.

...the photo is original, it has been the same for the 45-50 years I have seen it, it used to hang in our local Coke plant from at least the 1950s thru the last days in the 1980s...taller tires/smaller wheels were possibly to haul a heavier load

...Rays Drive In...once a chain of log cabin style restaurants...my first job was at this place...this one existed from 1949 until approximately 1994, when it was burned to the ground...the insurance claim was not paid, it was not rebuilt...I still have one of the menu boards in my garage

Wow. I agree; I'm surprised they fit in the spare tire well in the fender.

Here's a guy that's truly dedicated to the traditional "engine in the front, axle in the rear" layout. Must have been a beast to steer!

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
