Budd (forgot his first name?), major innovator in stamped steel body's.
Actuall had to take his ideas to Europe as the US companies where not
interested at the time. There is a series of standardised truck wheel
systems called Budd Wheels. It just so happens that the US military used the
"6 Hole Budd" on the 2-1/2 tons and the "10 Hole Budd" on the 5 ton trucks.
There may be more sizes but these are the only two I have seen and/or worked
with.
later,
