Gene was fortunate. The truck shops I checked at couldn't give me what Gene got.
1. Domestic "Big Trucks" use a .625" hole in the wheel for the valve. Class C's, Cars, Pickups, etc. use .453". Some valves come with both gaskets, just be sure what you get fits .453".
Friends Don't Let Friends Use Rubber Tire Valves!!!
I've "snipped" some wise comments from the excellent write-up by
j-d. I should have expanded my comments. I drive a Chevy, so the rim holes are different than the Ford rims. Midwest Tire handles pickup, semi's, and the Class 5 and 6 trucks like you find on U-Haul lots and for furniture delivery trucks. So, I don't really know what the bins of straight and curved stems fit. I know the ones they used fit my Chevy rims just fine. :)
