You did very well for a newbie, a picture and location all on the first posts, some of us are still working on that.

I think the wheels are Torque Thrusts II from American Racing, look like 20 inch but the site (enclosed) only shows up to 17 inch, (I think, maybe).

That's what i'm talking about this is a awesome rebuilt car.
And it looks like it has American racing rims on. But is it 18 inches rims or more?

The 18-inch American Racing Torq-Thrust IIs were wrapped in 35 Series Toyo rubber. The fronts are 8 inches wide with 255s and the rears are 10s with 295s.

Awnser: That is exact what I´m interested in.

I thought you had just bought this beautiful red truck and was wondering why you would want to change those wheels as they look awesome, then I checked out your gallery and realized you are looking for wheels like that for your truck I agree about the american racing tork thrusts, very nice looking wheel. Looks like you picked yourself up a nice project also, welcome to FTE.

Awnser: Thank you.... Yes the old truck is going to get a major rebuilt. I´m going to do a Street edition F100 and tried to keep it as original as I can without "over do it" (Fast & Furious style).
-1954 old truck with a touch of -2010.
