HELP! Need split rim for 1960 D300

Post by Maverick61 »

Hi All,
I could really use some help. I need 1 split rim for my 1960 Dodge D300 "Big Bertha". I think I found the manufacturer and part #, Budd #79120, or #71320, that were used on Dodge D300 1958-60, Ford F350's from 1953-65, possibly Studebaker and International Harvester? It is a:
16", 6 LUG
5 1/2 CENTER HOLE
7 1/4 BOLT CIRCLE
5/8 STUD

I would prefer a solid rim, however I haven't been able to find Anything that would fit. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

P.S. I also have a 1960 D100 Sweptline "Roxanne". That is how it has been titled from the beginning however many tell me It Can't Be, because the Sweptline series started in 1961. Anyone have any info on this? Also, it has a shiny aluminum grill that I have not seen on any other Swepty.
Thanks!
Patrick in Lancaster, Pa.

Does your truck have this grille? If so, it is a 61 only grille. If the truck is a 61 it should also have 5 round gauges in the instrument cluster, which was also standard for 61 only. The truck was probably sold new in 1960 and titled as a 60 instead of a 61. You can check the serial number to determine the correct year. http://www.sweptline.org/SweptlineRegistry/
