Wheels, Wheels, Wheels
Done with the frame work and started on my wheels. Looked over what came with the truck and realized I had three different wheels. None of which were right.
Does anyone know the wheel specs and does anyone have a set they would like to sell? They are for the '52 F1.

I have a set of five stock 15" wheels, painted black, with brand new Bridgestone radials (thin whitewall and only about 100 miles on them, if that), and Ford script hubcaps that I will likely sell.
Email me so I can send you some photos.

I think we need to know what your goal is for the truck. Ilya's wheels are a great solution, but are not the stock wheels for a '48-'52 F-1 if that is what you're after. The stock wheels are Ford #8C 1015 / Kelsey-Hayes #31283. They are 16" x 4.5" having .620" of positive offset. Ilya's wheels may be the #B5C 1015-A / K-H #25195 that is a 15" x 5" wheel having the same .620" offset. These are shown as introduced in 1955. These will work perfectly on your truck, and will accept the stock half ton hub caps. I'm not interested in selling any of my stock 16" wheels, but suspect others might have leads for you on them.

Ross (ALBUQ F-1) offered me a set of rims after I purchased some repo. I would bet he still has them as it wasn't very long ago. If you want stock then might see if you and him can reach a price.
