Hi All,
I am the proud owner of 1975 GMC Trans Mode # 245 that was sold as a Roll
Along Santana.She has 45k and I'm giving her a general going over prior to
some road testing.
My first of many questions is the steel wheels are in good shape and all the
welds look good. They are shod with D load tires and I see E is recommended.
My question is are the old school wheels are up to the job with the proper
spec rubber ? Also advice on the jacking procedure at rear bogey would be
great. Correct air setting is my concern.
Thanks Brad

I bought my GMC a year ago last week from the original owner. It has the original non-radial steel wheels with newly new E load tires. When I bought it, it had 103,000 miles and now has over 108,000. No problem with the wheels in over 5,000 miles. Ride is good. When I need tires, I'll switch wheels.
