The price seems a bit high. After sitting for 22 years all the rubber needs to be replaced. I see in the picture that it has steel wheels with 16.5” tires.
One should be able to buy a motorhome with the new Alcoa 16” wheels for a bit less.

"I see in the picture that it has steel wheels with 16.5" tires."
Are those chromed? I have 16" Ford wheels on mine that are the same design, and I would really like them if they were chrome instead of painted. Big difference in the overall look with chrome or highly polished wheels!

I see rust inside where it would be hard to polish, I think they have just been polished.
Any chrome shop should be able to do the wheels relatively inexpensively.

I really can't say what year they are from as I bought them used from a woman up in Williamsburg. IIRC, they were on an F-350 dually chassis with a box on the back. They are not hub centered on the GMC, and I had to cut off the locating pin on the inside of the wheels. I also use 2 or 4 conical lug nuts temporarily to center the wheel before installing and tightening the GMC factory washer-faced lug nuts.

Along with new tires, include new gas lines, new brake lines, new coolant hoses, new batteries. And, the unanticipated little 'gotcha items'.
