This tire was actually one of the spares, but unlike a couple of others, it still holds air. I wonder what 60 year old air smells like?

The plate may be personalized for International Associated Machinist union.

Re: Time for new tires
Seems like the change from yellow to black plates was '63-ish. DD

Re: Time for new tires
1963 was the change over to the black and gold plates.

Re: Time for new tires
Maybe a Hernia truss would help that one.

Re: Time for new tires
At least, the Tube didn't pop and the Tyre is still inflated. What more could you ask for? |

Re: Time for new tires
If you were every wondering what a twisted tube looks like. Here's one. Was installed by a tire dealer into my '35 wire wheel years back. Always was wondering why the sidewall looked distorted. Had a flat after about 30 miles of driving.

Re: Time for new tires
New tires arrived! Coker 600x16 by way of Summit Racing in Reno, NV. Same price as ordering directly from Coker, but Summit had free shipping. Waiting for tubes, then off to the tire shop for mounting and balancing.
Meanwhile, I got a side mirror on. Just using one of the pair of swan neck mirrors from Macs. Oddly, this one is marked RH (the other LH), but I wanted the arm to curve up, not down. For you purists: 1. All the hinge style mirrors I found are made for 2" to 2-1/4" hinges. Mine on this RPU are puny little things, only 1-5/8 inches high (pin height), so it would mean some fabricating. 2. My RPU windshield posts are not drilled to accept a threaded mirror like other roadsters. 3. There is no way to use a door edge peep mirror. 4. I already had one hole here from an old side mirror my dad put on 60 or more years ago, so I was able to use that. Decided to go easy for now and get this on the road. Also, someone asked about these swan neck mirrors for a '34. On my RPU, the curve of the door is such that I'm barely able to adjust the head inward enough to get a view alongside the truck. It's at the limit of the head mobility (the little post and ball on the head). If I wanted to use the one on the passenger side, it would need to angle in even more, far more than the mirror head would allow. Might work fine for a flat-sided car, or if I used a stick-on wide angle mirror.
