Odd how the one truck looks to have black steel wheels and white sidewalls? While all the rest are white steelies or alloy.

When redoing my son's 2WD 1984, the original steel wheels were 5 1/2" wide and were black. A friend had a 1984 [bought new] 4WD with steel wheels. These were 6" wide and white. These were purchased and painted black and installed on my son's truck.
