I think these f350 style rims are rare, wish it was closer

Rare, no. Widow makers, yes. They are Budd 68600s, SRW 17" x 5.50". You're thinking they are the Budd 70740, 19.5" x 5.25". Here's a 19.5" I have that is similar but slightly wider at 6.00".



But even with the WMs the truck is worth having at that price. Just north of Havi. I'm sure he'd run right up there to collect it for you! Stu

Yes I thought they were the 19.5" as it has the larger fender opening. Like you say still a good price

This truck is only an hour & a half from me. I may wait till the auction ends. If he hasn't sold it, I may make an offer.

I wrote to the seller and noted he was selling a 1956 but advertised it as a 55. He sent a nice message back thanking me for catching the error. He seems motivated. If the truck was closer to me I'd buy it jut for the spare cab parts for my '56 F500! The cab looks solid.
