Thanks fletch got your pm.
Just wanted to clear up the rim thing you mentioned. Chevy made in the 30s a rim also called the artillery rim. The stock ones look really different than the ones on there. The stock ones had a smaller hubcap. Plus the orignals were avalible in 15,16 and 17 inch the 17 inchers being more dessireable(wonder why i have about 6 of them in real). The 15 and 16 inchers are wanted too but u will see a huge price difference. Now a days some comapnys are repoping the 15/16 inchers but they changed them alittle so it wouldnt be dead on chevy.
I like the stock/oringal 17 inchers better, the smaller ones make me want to bolt them to a model car lol. Just thought i would clear that up alittle.

Ok i finaly got the pics of the rims. Both the artillery and the wire rim are 17 inch. These are the ones i got from one guy for 101 dollars(100 for 3 wire rims and one artilery) and 1 dollar for one more wire rim at the swap meet ;D Plus they all have tires and one is even pumped up and hold air  ;D Hope this helps. These rims were used in 35-36 i think. 37 had steel wheels but it is common that the lowriders that build the bombs use these rims(the artillerys) Well onto the pics Artillery   17 inch wire rim   |

Those are way to cool Flow. Those are some heavy duty wires, they would look great with the hub and bead areas chromed and the wires powder coated black.
I think in scale the '37 ford Artillery wheels would work as they are pretty close in design. Most modelers let alone the public at a show would know the difference.
Should have some photos of the resized cab up by the end of the day.
