Charles,

Here are most of the dimensions and fits:
Size 16x6
Circle - 8 - 6.5"
Bolt hole dia .670
Hub bore dia. 4.567
Backspace 8.150
Offset 5.150
Wheel load pounds 2780
Max inflation 95
Fits Chevy 3500
359402 is the original GM part number
1062 is the Hollander interchange number (I was later told that the Hollander number was wrong.)
29587 is the steel wheel part number They were $66 at southwest wheel. (They aren't 66$ anymore.)

They were used on a lot of GM trucks - Here are a few of them:
Pre 1976 may not be suitable for radial tires.
All C/P/G300 Dual 76'-00'
1 Ton P3500 Dual 76'-00
1 Ton P30 Dual 76'-00'
1 Ton K3500 4x4, Dual 76'-87'
1 Ton K30 4x4, Dual 76'-00'
1 Ton K3500 4x4, Dual 88'-00'
1 Ton G30 Dual 76'-00'
1 Ton C30 4x2, C3500 Dual 88'-00'

What this does not say is that there were two different wheels, one has the "Barrel Drum" that is round like the coach OE wheels, the others are conical and will not clear our rear brakes.

Also, no matter what it looks like, check the hub bore as 4-9/16. There are many that are larger. These will not center and our lug nuts won't make them center.

Also, watch out for damaged wheels. Many of these were both not very true to start with and did not live a gentle life.
I bought 16 and scrapped 3 of them.
