Mark - It's a Napco. F-350s have 6 x 7.25", F-250s have 8 x 6.5". Interesting to me is that Napcos are pretty unusual for Ford. Mostly Chevy/GMC and few Studebakers. Pretty sure GM never used the 6 x 7.25" pattern hubs, but Studebaker did. So 57F350 might have some pieces in common with our Studebaker friends.

Artic y block - Ken might have use for them on his M-H. I don't know how wide his rear drums are so he'd have to make sure there in't a clearance issue there. The other issue is shipping costs, but he's in BC and closer to you than just about anybody else so it'd be worth looking into. Stu

A 57 Napco F350! thats pretty cool. i hope he figures out how to post pics. i have seen a few napco chevy and gmc but never a ford. so what year did they get away from the 6x7.25 on the 350's and have everything run the 8x6.5? it must have been after 1966?

I checked out those wheels I saw the other day. They appear to be 20.5's, tube-type riveted, 5-hole (very large stud holes), need sandblasting on one of them for sure, but good condition by East Coast standards. There are three of them, and they want $60 for them. If someone is really needing them, let me know. They are indeed heavy, truck shipping on a pallet is the only way for these.

Mark - 1967.

Ross - Heavy indeed. That's not too bad at $20 each. I thought too that being they are in the southwest they're likely to have less rust those in the midwest or out east. Probably if you look at them again you'll see they are 20" even. Anything with a .5 will be a tubeless one piece. Stu

They had a massive hole for the tube's valve to come out, on the inside/center of the rim. Could be 20, we were measuring with a tape measure over the raised center and I was thinking the 1/2-inch sizes were tube-type, opposite of correct.

Did someone say 20" ?


Guy up the road would be interested in those 6 lug wheels for his '60 DRW, but I bet shipping would be a killer all the way from AK

http://duluth.craigslist.org/cto/2218000716.html Here's a '54 on 52" tires. 4x4

'54 on 52"ers.




As a sidenote, it doesn't look like a '54 grille, and I emailed about the hood scoop. (he won't separate the scoop from the truck)
