Well I just made a deal for the 6 rims that GB SISSON has. Now I need 1 more that mounts behind the cab as a spare.
Here is the listing from ebay that I won

I had it shipped to Buffalo NY using U Ship

 

Just checked the add pictures of your truck, looks pretty nice. Also noticed you are in Ontario as well, where about if you don't mind me asking

 

Great looking truck. As for the spare wheel, you might call this Oregon yard and see what you can work out on one of the pictured Budd 71320s. The yard is U-Pull It U-Save in Boring, OR, and their phone is (503)663-2211. Tell them the wheels are on a blue Dodge way in the back. One has a bend in it, so avoid that, and the wheels on the front are not tubeless. Obviously avoid them. They should be able to find the part number on the drop center of the outer rim. Stu

 

I worked two summers in Magnetewan, near Burke's Falls when I was a teenager......

 

That truck looks to be in good shape and complete. It's definitely different and cool!

 

My dad was born and raised and then retired in Burke's Falls. I spent many summers there myself vacationing from Toronto

 

I live in Burlington Ontario. 45 minutes Toronto and 45 minutes from Buffalo NewYork

 

Sounds like we both bought '53 F350s when we turned 53. Happy birthday to us. Couldn't send this on PM, so here is (was) mine. Can you recognize 'seller's remorse'? I couldn't open the pics of yours. Can you post them up here? It's worth it becoming a 'premium member' or whatever it's called. I'll be following your progress for sure.

 

The OP's 53 Tow Mater.

 

Very Cool truck! Flathead V8?

 

On the spare: You do realize you are carrying two spares all the time. The truck will do just fine with five wheels if you have a flat. If you are loaded heavy, you need may a spare.

 

Wow looks awesome! Looks like it will be a great resto project!

 

Yes it is a flat 8. The spare tire is for looks only. It is off now and the spare tire balances the looks of the truck

 

I have a Question since I will be changing tires from 17" to17.5 does anyone know if I can use the fenders off a f100 now. the way I see it in my parts book I can.

Ok I have 100 questions, where do I post them?
Thank you
