Re: Studebaker wheels?

[Dan McCormack <mcwheels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've heard that early Scotty campers used Studebaker wheels and I know that 
they have the same bolt pattern because I'm running Mopar wheels on my '77 
Scotty. Hudson must have too because a friend of mine is running Mopar 
wheels on his '49 Hudson coupe. And of course Ford used the same bolt 
pattern but there can be a problem with the center hole size when putting a 
Ford rim on a Mopar. I would think the easiest place to find 15" Mopar 
wheels that still used the larger dog dish caps would be from a '60's Dodge 
truck. The 2 wheel drive trucks and A-100 pickups and vans had the same 5 on 
4 1/2" bolt pattern.
