Any of the older non metric 8 lug wheels will fit from dodge , ford, or gm typically 70- early 90's. They are lug centric on a m116a2/3 not hub centric so the middle hole can be larger with no problems. Also very common for boat and utility 8 lug civy trailers.

Yes but quite pricey with patent and all......

You must have heard that diesel is corrosive and Gremlins eat through anything...... I have installed various military antennas on my rig for the "cool" factor but they are a pain the azm when I get hung up on trees and the like even tied down... They sometime snap in half quite easily...

I sold parts for 20 years in a another lifetime including valve cover gaskets in various brands in rubber and cork for many applications. Most never leaked if installed properly and tin in good shape. Many ifs but never heard of silicone leaking if properly Cleaned and using name brand quality...

M105's in the sandbox were sometimes dualed. Easy to do by changing lug nuts to thimbles and outer nuts like deuces and 5 tons. Not acceptable practice stateside but solved a problem over there.. Thread on it here somewhere...
