63 Flareside it is, couldn't have a better friend than him. Keep me posted on the guy with the tires. I'll get Michael involved when you've worked out your deal. At that point it'll probably have to be Michael and the guy making pickup arrangements. Stu

Mark has the light colored '50 Ranger, which is the first Range. He's gonna have to rebody it IIRC. Also the '52 Ranger that is well underway toward restoration. It's the Glenmist Green one. And he has the '55 Ranger that is also close to being done. Talented boy. Have a good holiday too. Stu

Mark - Mark Mossell should get some pics of your trucks to put in his Registry when you can. Owen Peterson (1952) is a wizard with carbs and I suspect he'd have use for the Holley 1904 glass bowl. Right now he's away from the computer while he and family get resettled in N.D. I got an email from his wife a few days ago telling a bunch of people that they are moving 6/30 and won't have internet access for a while. Owen has been in N.D. for a couple months working. I sent him a p.m. shortly after he moved and haven't gotten a reply so I think he's without internet until they get settled in their new home. Stu

Mark - did I ever reply to you on this? Just came here for somebody elses question and realized I had no response on this. The orange MH must be a MH factory unit. Pretty nice looking. I do have its pic, and know that Mark Mossell has it featured in his Hub Garage registry. BTW, you might drop by and look at that. I've sent him pics of your F-2, but I don't have pics of your F-3. He's intending over time to add pics of all that we have record of. Stu

Good. If he can find numbers I'll look them up. The 9.00" tire would have been used on a 6.5" rim. Both the 5 x 8" and 5 x 6 7/8" were made in that width, so both possibilities exist. These wheels and tires will be much wider than what came on your trucks (4.33" or 5"). If the spacers are a full 4" that'll help move the tires outward a bit for more clearance on the inner fender well/steering arm. But, then again, the wheels could have a more dish than the originals which could eat up that gain. Sitting as high as MHs do, I doubt you'll have outer fender edge issues. Keep me posted. Stu

Mark - As I've read your question, and looked at the truck again, I can't say that those are 5 x 8". They could be 5 x 6 7/8". The WWII era Dodges/IHCs, and later PWs, used the 6 7/8" pattern up into the late 1960s. While the wheels in the picture don't look like they have the same hand holes as the wheels for my Power Wagon, my truck is older. Looking in a 1960 Budd catalog there are three different width lock ring 16"s having the 5 x 8", but also six having the 5 x 6 7/8". You need to have your guy check this. When I thought you were buying the whole truck it didn't hit me. Now reading your question it hit me. If you were getting the wheels with the spacers it wouldn't be a problem, but with just the spacers you'd be shopping for wheels. Since the truck was a military, this possiblity isn't remote.

Edit - re-reading your question again, was your deal to get just the spacers, or were you getting the wheels too from the start? If your deal was for wheels too, it's covered. Stu
