Re: strange heavy cckw rim
There is nothing strange or unusual.The narrow pointed hand holes and 6 bolt holes definitely identify this wheel as the style GMC used on early 1st Series CCKWX and CCKW. Look for dates or markings in the area of the bolt holes. Other early ^MC 4X4 and 6X6 used a similar wheel with narrow pointed hand holes, but they had 5 Bolt Holes and were 6" wide and not 7" Wide as made for CCKW.
A good reference would to purchase a copy of David Doyle's excellent book on the GMC CCKW and view the many photos od early CCKW's with this same wheel.
