i have four 17 inch original wheels from my 52 f3 (eight lug). these are not widowmakers. they are one piece wheels in good shape. 80 bucks and they are yours

 

do you know if they will fit a 49F3?

 

they should fit right up

 

if i could find out for sure, i would take them.

 

any pics or measurements? any idea on who might know if they will work? maybe someone on the board will know?

 

fordtruck52 - Pgh49ford asked me about your wheels, and I'm sorry to be difficult but you're seeing your wheels wrong. They are widow makers. There were only two 17" wheels made back then having the 8 lug x 6.5" pattern. Both multi-part, no one piece wheels were made in the 17" size. One of the two is the Budd "widow maker" wheel used by Ford on F-3s, the other a Kelsey-Hayes product with an "AR" lock ring design used on Chevies. The Chevy wheel won't fit over the Ford rear hub which eliminates the chance that you've got the Chevy wheels. I'll post a picture that will show you the joint that runs along the middle of the wheel. It's the raised band like area that the center is riveted to. The wheels should be recycled. Stu

 

stu i still think these wheels are one piece but i will check again i could be wrong. i will reply after i check (wheels are in another location)

 

Here's a diagram of what you'll find. Stu
