Stock bolt pattern?
Wondering the stock bolt pattern is for my 73 F-250. I know in millimeters it's 8-165.1 but i'm wondering what that is in inches. Wondering if the stock rims from an 05 duramax will fit, I know those are 8-6.5 and I know some dodge rims will fit. Let me know.

It is 8 on 6.5". The Chevy wheels should bolt up fine. I'm not sure how the backspacing compares to the wheels you have now but I doubt it's much different.

Beware! Though bolt patterns can be the same, they still might not fit. Sometimes the hub center bore is too small to fit over the snout...

... caveat emptor.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that part. I'm pretty sure it's not an issue with the pickup wheels but hummer H2 wheels are often problematic.

25.4 mm = 1 inch, thus 165.1 mm / 25.4 = 6.5 inches.

ok sounds good. Off subject but do you guys know how much one of these trucks weigh stock? its a 4x4 with a 360 and a 4 speed. Swapping the original intake with an aluminum one and stock manifolds with headers.

For reference, an Edelbrock Performer is 22 lbs... an OEM intake? Ha! You'll almost blow a brain gasket removing it! Just get it close to the fender and then heave it over the side...
