You've got yourself a nice truck to start with. Keep the pics coming. But I have one question. Do you or anyone here know who made those wheels? I have a set on my truck but mine are 15x6 1/2. I'd like to get a set that are 16x8 or 9 but I can't seem to find them anywhere.

My brother has a set of 16's on his 90 f250 but those are 8 lug wheels. I've tried doing a google image search but I can't find anything without knowing the manufacturer. Ebay is of no help either because doing an 86 f150 wheel search brings up 1,000's of options with 90 percent of them not having anything to do with my search in the first place.

I would clean up those backing plates and hardware. If the shoes were soaked they need to be replaced also.
