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
