Wally, Stu thanks for all the information, I was hoping that there was a Ford 16" 5 lug wheel out there to fit my truck, evidently there is. My truck came w two tires so bald the threads are showing, who would drive w tires like that? Searching the tire rack site and talking to the local guys I can't find tires I want for 15" wheels, so I try to get a decent used set until the wheel situation is resolved, no luck, a trip to the local salvage yard also a bust. So now trolling CL and the bay for some 16" wheels, probably should post a WTB ad here as well.
The pressure is off...checked my compression today 1cyl@50# 2@0#. We just got it started and it was running a bit rough, I thought it was the old dirty carb. I was just getting used to the idea of running the economical sturdy 223, something else to think about. The tires I have will probably be OK for the speeds I'll be doing for a while. I suppose a bad engine might be a reason the body is so decent.
