Go to this site, Use the phone number, call them up and ask for Rusty. He has helped most of us here get our tubes. Just tell him what you are doing with the tires and he will know exactly what you are talking about.

Rusty was horrible at Internet contacts. As in never answered. Ever. But get him on the phone and you're set. He's great, and does indeed know exactly what you're talking about.
I got ahold of him on the phone and was very impressed. Give him a call.
I two ordered both tube and flaps from Rusty,Got parts fast and at a good price around 150 or 160 for all four tubes and flaps. But you have to call him.
I called rusty,he said they were out of stock now.He said they had 12 tubes comming in next week.I ordered 5 tubes and flaps.Fyi he says he wont have anymore for a few months.If you need some order them now.Thanks everone,I cant wait to get my tires on the truck.
All I want is the phone #. First time I have had the truck out on the road and 10 miles later the pass side front is flat. They were mounted in a big truck shop, something is wrong! No beach this weekend,*%#&*@!
I can't find my paper work, just let me know the tube #, maybe I can find a spare close.
A tube's a tube's a tube... As long as it's the right size for the tire and a radial tube for a radial tire, you're fine there. The only trick is the valve stem, but if you have one already they can see/measure, you should be fine.
And if it's a relatively new tube, I'd consider getting it patched, if only for use as a spare.
Well once I got the tire off the truck and started looking at it,I think I found the problem. The R/F is the wheel that locks up, and it caused the tire to slip on the rim and rub a hole in the valve stem. Maybe I should let the truck sit another 30 years and the tires will be stuck to the rims again.
Found paper work, tubes on way. Thanks.
Tubes came in, and I took the tire and tube to be mounted. Found that the tube had 3 little holes rubbed in it due to some 'little' flakes of rust working in between the tube and tire. Just some food for thought for anyone else swapping tires, as I was told all 'split rims' will get water in them and may develop rust. Get a extra tube, ha,ha.
Yep, I had a rust hole develop on the way to the Texas FE last fall. Koobster, Agengr and myself got to do a field break down to swap in my extra tube using a tree stump as a jack stand. That spare tube sure did help.
I patched that tube and had to put it back into the same tire 3 weeks later because the tire flap had come apart causing the first leak. I didn't have a spare one of those with me and the spare tube got a hole. So, two leaks from the same rim in 3 weeks is the price I paid for getting a used tire flap. I put in a new one and haven't had any trouble since.
fyi a radial tube is a thicker heavyer tube than a bais tire tube.
