I think it's a matter of preference. IMHO FE's are boat anchors, paper weights... but that's my opinion. There are plenty here who appear to love them.

Sweet...nice score on the wheels/tires. I'm running 265X75X16 tires on my 69 F250...closest thing I would find to the stock size...235X85X16 is also pretty close. Rides like a dream on the highway and mpg's are okay for a 5,500 lb. beast. Are you gonna finish and leave it flat black or go with another color?

Looking at your pics reminded me of something I just despise about old trucks. They usually have lived so long and so many owners they also have so many holes in the doors from mirrors. Mine are no different. I have two sets of mirror holes to weld shut. Good to see you got the split rims off. Do you have 2 more of the rears? I kinda like the way they look.
