There are some f-series trucks out there with 7 lug rims. Look at this thread: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...-for-f350.html

Without knowing where the OP lives we can only guess if they have a Canadian truck or not.

Look at Post#5 in that thread. The truck in that post was supposed to be a '93 F350 with 7 lug rims. I would think a Canadian F250 of that vintage could also come with that weird setup as well.

try 97+ forum for more replies... ayway, If your local boneyard has computerized inventory they can find one anywhere in the US and have it UPSed to your town for about $15 and will charge ya about $50 for the wheel itself.
