Nick,
If your 52 F4 is like mine, the inside diameter of the rear brake drums is
15". The F4 used either an 18" or 20" wheel with a 5 on 8" bolt circle.
If you're looking to upgrade your wheels, I would look for a more current
19.5" wheel from a GM application such as a motor home or a Grumman van (of
which I haven't quite figured out.). Keep an eye out for wheels with 10
lugs on 8" B.C. GM used 5 on front (every other hole) & 10 on the rear.

A "Nascar Craftsman Truck Series" forum has been added to
the web site message boards. In addition being a place for
you to discuss the races, I'll also be posting Ford truck
series press releases there.

I know that there has been discussion in the past regarding electronic
ignitions for the old engines. Has there been anything new crop up or are
Mallory and PerTronix about the only ones on the market? I'm looking for
one for a 6V '47 1 1/2 ton truck.

Th regular Pertronix modules will work on six volts. BUT you will have to
change to a negative ground. You should have no trouble with installing one
on your truck.
