Default Source for 6.50 x 20 tires for an AA

Need some help finding a source for 1 or 2 6.50x20 tires for an original 1928 AA dump truck. Prefer to find a good used one, as a new one would look out of place on this old timer. See photo. Thank you Fordbarners.

Can not help, but wanted to say that is a cool old timer you have. Looks original. Does it run?


Possibly a picture of the tires that are on it might help others.


If you have the time please post more pictures, and the story of the Truck.


Hope others can help, otherwise it is probably swap meet time.


Thanks.

Miller tire and others have them, although they are NOT cheap. For just a roll-around tire I would try a motorcycle shop for used tires.

if you head to Hershey, you should find a couple of used ones. I have had good luck there with used tires.

Thank for the tips. Yes it is running great. A friend from high school owned it in 1960, he sold it to another friend shortly thereafter, and just got it back after 50 plus years from the same guy. We took it out the storage shed it had been in for years. Replaced the cracked head, loosened up the piston rings and valves with penetrant, and it fired right up. They always seem to.
Yes, I will be going to Hershey, any suggested for who to see about used tires there. We will be in a C2C-63 in Chocolate Field South close to Dennis Carpenter and Universal Tire.
Will post more photos later.

Hope they threw in that "vintage/aged" canoe in the deal.

Hershey and tires are random, but I always find good tires for cheap $.

See if UPS has any used ones. I think that's the size their trucks use.
