20" rims on 715?

[reitenger]

Are any of the 20" military rims floating around going to bolt up to the 6x7.25 pattern on the 715? I figured someone here might have already done the search so I could save some time looking.

No.

The M715 bolt pattern fit it and some other trucks made in the 1950-1970 time frame. All with split ring rim 16" tires.

Gama goat rims with different centers were a popular conversion at one time. Stick with the stock rims or go to a place like Marsh Racing and have them build you a set.

I was planning on going to marsh for a new set of wheels if I keep the stock axles, but thought i'd ask about the 20's first. Friend of a friend has a couple of sets o fthe 20"rims and tires holding down his garage floor. He was willing to loan me a set if it would work to get the rig rolling a litle easier while I did the rest of the resto/mod work and made a decision on axles.
