Canadian MLVW wheels

[m1010plowboy]

thank you both

that answers the question.

I am now on the hunt for 6 MLVW wheels . . .

I started digging for info today and what we know is the mlvw wheel market should see a lot of rubber soon. A pile of trucks went out to the public for scrap only. I was told the tires may start for as low as 100 CDN dollars per rubber and rim. I don't personally know the seller but I'll do what I can to get names.

You're in MO and there were around 59 trucks that just got bought out East. I'll dig some more and there should be an add for tires floating around soon. The name Walter Lee came up but it might be too early to see adds yet. I'll let you know what I find.

For better id, this is the wheel in question.....

I like the look of the old split ring, but I love these from a practical sense, and they have a look all their own. Is it common to run them with or without run flats?

@m1010plowboy Thank you for the info. I have seen two semis this week with MLVWs and was p'eed off because I had not seen any for sale for a while. That explains, why. Great use of taxpayer money to send them to the crusher instead of letting people buy them individually.
Well, hopefully we can get some parts off them. The power steering setups would be great for a Deuce and some might like the beefy Allison that is in them!
One can hope...

Don't MLVWs have problems with the metals used to build them? I thought they were prone to premature corrosion and breakage, especially on the rear suspension. I wonder if that's why they're going straight to scrap.

Are the Canadians still selling their Leopard C2s? That could be a fun alternative

Here in Quebec, the roads are salted like crazy in winter, hence the corrosion on all areas of the truck. As for the Leopard C2's no more for sale. Many, many were stripped internally and made into gate guards or static targets.

Nice rigs, seano11; mighty sweet!!

My mom was a WWII war bride, a teenager in Paris during the war, and lived through the German Occupation there:

- She did not like talking about it

- But I do remember here saying once about the experience there in Paris, in response to some random conversation about Black Markets in general...

- She said, in Paris during the war, that "If it wasn't for the black market we wouldn't have had any markets at all"

The "hunger years" she once called them (1940-1944)

That's it. The End
