I see. sounds like a 16" ford rim with no back spacing is what i should look for. i just want to paint a steel rim and put nice lug nuts for now, thats it. And upgrade to some modern tires. I think my 16.5" wide bias ply flat tires may be contributing to some steering float. I had a manual...
I'm finally getting back to this thread! I found a set of 1992 Chevy 4x4 rims. Do you think the center hole would fit on a 66 Ford f250, or would it be too small? Are you saying in you last post that the 4x4 rims of say a '92, stick back inside the wheel well, over the hub too much? (or vice...
As far as I can tell it is a 2100. It is leaking pretty bad at the shaft. It feels a little loose. I'm wondering if it is a good candidate for a rebuild. This is a 1.08 size BTW. Is this correct for a 352 (in Los Angeles btw)
I do have a streetavenger 570 cfm carb sitting on a 302, that was for...
Finally got the 66 F250 delivered to the house!
The carb is leaking and the fuel tank smells like paint thinner. I need to drain that out and replace the rubber fuel lines. Also the Fuel gage doesn't work and trying to understand the tank switching setup. Anyways
Trying to order a Carb rebuild...
This is probably a dumb question. Where does the spare tire go on an F250? Can it be mounted under the back of the bed? I'm looking to buy a 250 but the tire is in the back under a covered wood loft thing under the camper shell.
I didn't get a very good look under the bed. It has a tow hitch.
Is there a particular wheel width to look for? Stock 6.5" seems a tad narrow. And offset, is there a way to tell? I had some American Racing rims once and they were noted on the inside of the rim, but factory or other brands may not be.
These are great answers. I think a lot of people will find this post informative. I did not know about the Chevy center hole issue. I found some 01 Ford Excursion rims, but based on this information, these may NOT be a good match due to the possibility of the 8 lug pattern being a metric...
Thanks for the quick response! OK, Assuming 16" rims, what then might a standard looking tire size be? these say 9.5 x 16.5. hmmm. I wouldn't mind lowering the tire profile a little since this would be for light hauling in the long run.. (I may regret i said that).. Also is there a certain...
What is a good looking Economical alternative to a 66 wheel? This one has aftermarket 16.5, with 9.5x16.5 bias ply tires.Are the later model 8 lug wheels the same pattern or are they metric?
And when might the cutoff year be for a stock ford rim that will fit?
