1966MN, you just have to keep hammering eBay each day for the newly listed 1965 F100 or 1965 Galaxie Hub Caps. I got mine (a set of four) for 100 bucks. Lots of people searching so you have to grab them right away.

 

I have 5 16x5 Ford OE wheels (used) I would sell if that would help you any...

 

1964 Galaxie, not 1965, which is cone shaped, so it's totally different. I have a pair of these '64 caps, one is NOS, the other is used. NFS at this time.

 

Ok, 1964 Galaxie is the correct match for a 1965 F100, not 1965 Galaxie sorry (although I'm pretty sure I searched 1965 Ford hubcaps and the hub caps I got were listed as 1965 Galaxie hub caps - but the owner could have just been wrong, like me )

Tin Man 52, can you provide a picture of your 16" hubcaps? I would be interested, because I'm thinking about moving to a bigger wheel (a 16" or a 17.5")

 

Bill or others,

I currently have those 15" one-piece wheels for my nearly completed 1965 F100. Would both the 16" or the 17.5" wheels fits? I have read on this Forum somewhere that the 17.5" wheels only work on the 4 X 4 model, is that correct?

Also, is there any difference in the 15" and the 16" and the 17.5" other than just diameter?

Also, do the 15" hubcaps fit on 16" and 17.5" wheels, or are the hubcaps different to match the wheel?

 

Keep your eye on ebay I have seen them there from time to time and at a pretty reasonable price.

 

Im looking for 2 of those wheels if it is not spoken for lets talk.

 

See post 5. I already answered your 17.5" wheel question.
(sigh) You can lead a mule to water, but you cannot make it drink. Here's the info again, I added a coupla extra tidbits.

C4AZ-1130-A .. 1964 Galaxie & 1965/66 F100 10 1/4" 'outie" Hubcap.

C4AZ: C decade = 1960's / 4 = 1964 / A = Galaxie/Custom/500 XL / Z = Ford part.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C5AZ-1130-A .. 1965 Galaxie/Custom/LTD 10 1/2" 'outie' Hubcap.

C5AZ: C decade = 1960's / 5 = 1965 / A = Galaxie/Custom/LTD/500 XL / Z = Ford part.

500XL's came with wheel covers, were optional on others. And, these same C5AZ hubcaps were also used on 1966 Galaxie/Custom/LTD's

 

Bill, you're right, you did answer my 17.5" question in post 5. Must have blown right past that.

I have a friend with two 17.5" inch wheels. What are they worth do you think?

Thanks for all your help. All these wheel/hub cap options where so confusing but I think I have a pretty good grasp on it now.

 

Ok, I have a couple more questions that I don't think you have already answered (I'm thinking you'll let me know if you have.

What bolt pattern was on the 16" wheel that was used by Ford in 1965 for the F100?

Also, you stated that my 15" hub cap would not fit on a 16" wheel, so......

what factory hubcap fit on the factory 16" wheels?

Be gentle...........

 

Price is driven by demand. If they are bent or badly rusted, I'd say their value would be low. If the wheels are not bent or badly rusted, there MAY be a few folks that only need one or two wheels to complete their set on their restoration project and may be interested in them.

Considering the very limited size availability of 17.5" tires for those wheels and the steep (in my book) price your friend may need to advertise them for quite some time to find those few buyers. Check out these prices: Tire Search Results

Post 23: You asked if 16 & 17.5 wheels would fit your F100. I said yes. Now you're asking the same question again. If there was a different lug and/or bolt pattern used with these wheels, I wooda said so. There isn't.

5 lug wheels on a 5.50" bolt circle: 1940/47 Commmercial (1/2 ton truck) / 1940/48 Ford/Merc Passenger Cars / 1948/52 F1 / 1953/79 F100 / 1966/96 Bronco / 1969/74 E200 / 1975/96 F150 / 1975/2012 E100/150 / Some 1980/83 F100's.

I've prolly typed the wheel and hubcap applications for these old rolling piles of misery at least 500 times here on FTE.

One FTE member (dubhoff) went thru the trouble of posting pics in his gallery of every one of these puppies, I supplied the part numbers.

Do peeps use the search function to get this info? Of course not, so the same fracatta info has to be typed all over again when a shows up.

How many M5's, 2R5/7 thru 8R5/7 Studebaker trucks came with 5 lug wheels on a 5.50" bolt circle? None that I'm aware of. Most, if not all of these wheels are 'outies.'

 

Bill,

I'm thinking about putting the Firestone 700-15 sold by Coker on my truck: Firestone Blackwall - 700-15

Newbie Question: Is it the wheels or the tires that determine whether you need a tube inside or not? I've read on this Forum about guys saying sometimes you have to use a tube with some of the factory rims/wheels?

Thanks.

 

I used the search function and couldn't find the pictures and parts numbers of all these wheels and hubcaps. What was the FTE member's name.

 

I edited it in to my last post (dubhoff). I'm think (hope) that's the name.
