hello all,
I found some 16" rims in the men's mall (thanks Devin) but one of them has the old truck style oval valve stems. I would say it is about 3/4" by 3/8". My internet search pulled up one that looks likes a TR501 truck stem.
I've been to and called to a few local tire stores and none of them have one in stock. I also checked eBay and Amazon, they have them only in bulk and I only need one. Does anyone know where I can find one? Or have a better part number?
thank you in advance!

Check a tire shop that works on big trucks. The oval based stem will hold much higher pressures than the typical all rubber plug in design. Probably a better choice for our purposes.

Todd,
There is a box of them in my barn.
They cost me 5 and change each and I had to order them.
If you can wait for the Lunch Bunch, I can bring them along.
We can also make some other arrangement.
I bought a bunch when I was collecting 16" wheels.
Many of those with the oval valve holes did not pass the sort for true.
Let me know.
