Wheel question?
Since there isn't much going on in here, I thought I'd ask a curiosity question:
Did Ford ever offer OEM alloy wheels in the 5x5 truck bolt pattern? If so, what year(s), size(s)?

I believe they offered an aluminum slot and a turbine style aluminum rims in the 70's. Then I think there was a factory "American Racing Outlaw" style rim in the late 80's & 90's.
I think Number Dummy would be the one for the exact info.

The pattern remained with 5x5.5 until the end of the '96 model year. Broncos, F150, Vans etc. were all the same pattern. In '97 the pattern changed to 5x135mm.
I maybe a little bias, but the OEM slots from the 70's trucks look great on our trucks. I prefer them sans center caps.

ZSK,
Great looking truck!! I agree, the Ford slotted mags look great. There was a set at the local pick-a-part last summer and I made the mistake of walking by them.....I've been regretting it ever since.
