D30 questions
![Post Post](./styles/OldIHC/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
I am a new member to the forum. I have just purchased my first IH product, a late 30's D30 truck. I has been sitting for a very long time. I have a few questions for those who are more knowledgable on these trucks.
Year of production? How do I tell? I never noticed the tag on the firewall.
I am wondering about the wheels. They are split rims but what type are they? How safe are they?
The original sales brochure lists the rear ratios as: 5.28:1, 6.16:1, or 6.60:1. My curiousity is how long this rear axle stayed in the IH lineup and if a more modern ratio (4.10) might be available to get the RPM down on the highway. A 12V cummins wants to slip into the engine bay.
