My DUKW sat on 11:00 x 18 tyres, as opposed to my GMC and Chev which had 7.50 x 20, so the DUKW runflat locks are the same type but a different size.
I have to admit I've stripped many a wheel with runflat locks in, but I've never re-fitted any, not even in my Dodges. They do look good hanging on the garage wall.
If I'd ever used the central tyre pressure regulation kit on the DUKW I would have considered re-fitting the locks, as they would help to keep the tyres on the rims at low inflation pressures. Never seen the need in a Dodge.
