We like pictures. Maybe someone close by would be interested. Maybe you could save another member from wasting his time to go look at it.

 

The Skyhawk was his first and only plane he owned, which he sold shortly after getting his first company plane. Both company planes he had were were Bonanza A36s.

 

From the angle of the pic it looked like an F33A...both are straight tail Bonanzas. Company airplanes are the best kind!

 

Looks like we just bought a F2, more info and pics later.

What wheels would look correct on a stock truck, it has aftermarket wheels?

 

Stock wheels.

Sorry, I just had to say it.

I figured that... LOL
Also figured they are pretty hard to find.

I guess I would be needing to find F250 17.5" wheels?

 

Here is a pic of the F2 we are getting.

 

You can use the stock 16"x 6" F-2 wheels because they are one piece. Finding a set might take some detective work, but they come available. Nice truck. Stu

 

Looks like a nice truck. I'd like to see some shot from the side. The truck looks like one that was mentioned a few years ago on FTE.

 

You're right Bob, bet it's the same one with 1/2 ton rear fenders. They look wider than F-2/3 fenders would be. Stu

 

You guys pegged it, that's the truck. It does have fiberglass rear fenders. What else do you know about the truck?

 

Nothing on this end. The fact of an F-2/3 bed being wider than an F-1 bed the F-1 fenders are wider than F-2/3 fenders. Combining the F-2/3 bed with F-1 fenders pushes the wheel opening outward and makes the stock rear wheels look out of place. With wider custom wheels the appearance is helped. Since you want to keep a stock appearance, you could get some '90s era Dodge 3/4 ton steel wheels that are 17" x 7" (iirc) and fill up the wheel wells more. Stu

 

That's the one I'm typing about.

Nothing other than what Stu mentioned. It was mentioned here quite a few times years ago. I think it had been on eBay and CL a couple of times back around 2009. It was a nice looking truck but the rear fenders looked odd because they were F-1 fenders. They could be made to look correct with a like cutting and pasting to widen the wheel openings and narrow the width. If you're going to repaint it to match your grandfather's truck you might want to consider doing that.

 

Or just find F-2/3 fenders. Stu

 

Finding decent steel F-2, IMO, would be a lot more work. If he found steel fenders they'd probably need as much work or more. Fiberglass is pretty easy to work with, but very itchy. All it would take is some very careful measurements, a saber saw and a fiberglass repair kit.

Since he has the glass fenders I'd suggest he work with them unless he could find a decent set of steel fenders. I agree that's the best way to go.
