65 F-350 Dually Wheels

anyone ever find a source for dually wheels with a 6 lug on a 7.25" bolt circle? I'd really like to have something in a 17" tubeless tire.

I have a 66 f350, and I had the same problem. All I could find was 8lug rims. My truck has a Dana 60 so I found a newer 60 and replaced it. I was going to just try the newer hubs but a complete axle was easier. Measure between your spring perches an backing plate if you choose to swap. Good luck!!!

i haven't done the front yet because i have a gemmer 375 steering box and there is no aftermarket or later year that shares my steering box. My front axle is a straight axle. i haven't looked real hard for a solution since its so hot here were i live. I was thinking a straight axle out of a 1990 and above super duty might work and it would give me disk brakes. if you find a solution for the front please let me know!! the other problem i just thought of is the steering wheel shaft runs more through the floor board than the fire wall.

B6TZ-1015-A .. 17.5" x 5.5" .. 6 Lug 7.25" bolt circle wheel / Marked: 79120 / Obsolete

Applications: 1953/66 F350-Use with DRW & tubeless tires / No Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

The only source I know of that may have some, is a long time truck dis-mantlers yard here in the Los Angeles.

This yard has 100's of wheels, been at the same location in LA since 1929.
