I have a trailer with what I think are axles out of a 50's era truck
front end. These have 6 lug 15 inch wheels. Can anyone tell me what
wheels would fit as replacements?

The center caps for these axles have screw on dust caps. Someone even
cut the wheel hole wider with a torch to make it fit.

Would any 6 lug wheel fit? I can email pictures if that helps.

1969 Chevy P/U ould be where I'd start. Used to be some Datsun trucks
that used the same pattern, too. I don't know of anything more recent

Looks like it may be a 6X5.5

If they had to cut out the wheels to fit its probably a Ford hub, and those
are probably GM or Dodge rims. 1/2 ton Ford wheels should fit. Visit any
local junkyard and ask to see if you can try some old rims.

The old Datsun pu wheel used a larger center hole too, I think
