So here's the problem, Hub caps ?

I have the original chrome bottle caps with ford in black letters with trim rings. On the back I have the original innie rims so no problem there, but on the front I have a disk brake conversion and the PO used later rims to clear the calipers and they are outies. what can I do so I have all the same hub caps?

There is nothing you can do, since there is no innie hubcap that will fit an outie wheel.

1966: Last year for F100 innie wheels. All 1967/83 F100's (1975/96 F150's), have outie wheels. Disc brakes introduced in 1973 F100's.

1965/66 F100's were available with both innie and outie wheels...and hubcaps.

C4AZ-1130-A .. Outie Stainless Steel Hubcap-10 1/4" O/A diameter / Obsolete, not reproduced.

Applications: 1965/66 F100's with outie wheels / 1964 Ford Galaxie.

btw: The bottlecap hubcaps you have are stainless steel, not chrome.

Thanks Numberdummy, I did not know they were stainless, always learning something new. A friend said I might be able to use the original rims with (spacers behind to clear the calipers) Do you know or have an opinion about trying this ?

I found a set of steel outie wheels on Craigslist for $25.00 off a 79 F-100. I hd them powder coated and and then sold my old ones for $25.

Spacers can be expensive and hard to find for 5 on 5.5 pattern but can also be fabricated cheaply enough. Using them is okay as long as they are installed properly and you periodically inspect them. I try not to push the truck to its performance limits while using them. I've had 1/4" spacers in front and up to 1-1/4" in back. They permit you to use a wider variety of 5 on 5.5 pattern rims with different offsets like Dodge and do stuff like put on really wide tires or clear stuff sticking out like calipers, tie rod ends and fender walls.

Thank you Will, I will have to look into that a little closer. I do still have the other two original rims.

Thank you much for the link. I wonder if you think the 1/4 inch would do the trick and be enough to clear the calipers.

Don't have a clue. Depends on the backspacing of your wheels. Measure the difference between what you have that fits and what you want to put on and it'll tell you how much you need. Wild Horses also sells a billet set, but even higher price wise. I'm sure there are others, just familiar with Bronco vendors.

Bill,

Stocton still has not sorted out the opening.

To clear the dust cap use a minimum 3/8" spacer.
