Me too, I had them on this 64 F-600, had them all switched out, one was leaking air, used to wedge the chock in there and stand to one side, like you said it's kind of like poking at a landmine. Almsot 20 years ago while driving an R-model mack hauling to a landfill cap/closure job, steering tire blew with 28 ton on, fender well to pieces, battery box cover off and the ring went so far in the woods it was never found.
