    I don’t think I’ve ever seen those before. Only the nut covers...
    That just needs a little @Last Call style TLC.

    They were common in years past, not usually seen anymore. Which few care to even run daytons anymore, I hear some I talk to even local that will spend good money to switch to budds….

    I remember the down falls to daytons when it comes to pulling a wheel off fight the wedges .. trying to tighten then up correctly so they run straight.. not to mention the added weight .. but they use to be really common especially on flee equipment
    I will say this on the right vintage truck they look good

    Yes the wedge removal was a learning curve for many accompanied with pain at times. I grew up with them so they never really were an issue to me.

    And yes that wobble wobble wobble going down the road was a tell tale sign about alignment lol…..
