Westcoast, those wheels look so fantastic! The best yet! Clean, simple and "correct", even.

I just got a set of 16s off a 96 f350 srw that are almost exactly the same. Got them from a guy on CL for $100

 

Awesome!

Those might have the nubs that hold a hub cap in place. If so, and you think you would like to take me up on these caps, let me know.

I think the factory looking trucks like the OP look best with the stock steelies with hub caps. It just ties the vintage look together on a vintage rim. I run mag slots and don't care for them very much.

 

Nope, they're just a regular old steel 16.5's...no split rings etc. I'm in NY

 

I'd love to have a set of slots for my highboy. Interested in sellin them Steven?

 

i'll be going with these, found them up in my garage a few months ago. forgot i had them .

 

Nice score and they will look great on your truck! Put up some photos when you get the new wheels installed.

By the way, your truck looks to be in beautiful condition! What's the story on it, full restoration or just minty original?

 

Thanks westcoast! You have a really nice truck too. Yeah it has been in central FL it's whole life so no snow or salt. The exterior has been repainted but other than that it has just been well maintained. The original 360 2bbl blew up so the last owner went back in with a 390 4bbl from a 1966 fairlane with an rv cam.



New wheels after I got them home.


After some work, paint, and lacquer. The pic makes them look a lot yellower than they really are.

 

Cool ! Those will work

 

They'll work with the hub caps you have?

 

The caps I am offering to you will work with your wheels, because your wheels have the retaining nubs to hold the caps on, unlike the smooth wheels Westcoast got from a later model Econoline.



The front caps will have to have the centers cut out to clear the hubs, as shown in the above picture.

@rougeriver
sounds good. I am getting my tires switched to the new wheels tomorrow and then I'll decide whether the caps would look good or not

 

There she is with the steelies. I'll probably get them powder coated when I get my new tires so they will match the truck better. I think I like the no hub cap look for right now so I'll stick with that.

 

Looks awesome!
