Re: 1972 Revcon 250
HuckleCat wrote: Hello Jacob! I have a 1975 REVCON I am currently working on. My tires are the same as yours. Luckily mine are only a couple of years old and in good condition. I am researching how to get a more common size that will work with the bolt pattern etc. Will let you know. I want to have the tires in a size in case of something happening on the road. Check out my REVCON here. It is a work in progress. Our 1975 REVCON album - work in progress HuckleCat wrote: OH! There are not many REVCONs around. Thats the reason I like mine. There are parts that may be difficult to find. Rear shocks if you ever need them are not available. I had front shocks, and most of the front end wear items on mine replaced. Those are available as the Revcon used the Toronado drive train / front end pretty much as supplied from the GM factory. Hi Huck! Thanks for your reply. I was able to find tires... I found some 9.5-16.5 transforces for the two front wheels and some 12-16.5 STA tires for the two rear wheels because one of the previous owners changed the two rear wheels (1 inch wider than the front). Thankfully I don't have any rear end work needed right now, but what are our options if something takes a **** on us?1.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: 1972 Revcon 250
Thanks a lot for the information everyone. I've been trying to join the revcon forums and get some sort of contact with a seasoned revcon owner that's been through all the trials and tribulations... but no luck - my member requests are not being accepted. Most of the forums and posts about Revcon's are from years ago... so who knows where all the owners are. Femailyetti - That's exactly how these lug nuts are. They have 5 huge lugs that turn either left or right depending which side you are of the RV. The big 5 lug nuts is what makes it more difficult to find replacement wheels also. Thanks again - I think the smartest route would be to get 16s made, so I have a wider variety of tire selection. - Jacob1.1KViews0likes0Comments1972 Revcon 250
I recently purchased a 1972 Revcon 250 and have quickly realized how tough it's going to be to do a complete remodel of this rare beast. Currently I'm searching for new tires... the stock Revcon came with (5) 10-16.5 tires - including spare. For some odd reason the one I bought has two 9.5-16.5 and two 12.5-16.5 on the rear. I'm able to mount some 9.5-16.5 transforce's on three wheels, but the two rear wheels are wider and no tire is made to fit a 12.5-6.5 wheel. Any recommendations on the two rear wheels? Or does anyone know where I can possibly find two wheels that came with the stock 72 Revcon 250? (And some spare lug nuts, considering the rarity of those as well.) ... Everything/everybody leads me Marty Moore's in San Diego, but the phone number is no longer in service and I live too far to check it out myself. Thanks in advance! Have a great weekend. - Jacob10KViews0likes17Comments
