Where did I say that introduced in 1965 Type 1, C5TZ-1130-D was incorrect?
According to you, you're correct 100% of the time, while FoMoCo is wrong.
And that's who you're arguing with, because FoMoCo printed the parts catalogs. I'm just the messenger, relaying what the catalogs state.

How original is this truck? Wheels are probably the most changed out item on any vehicle for a variety of reasons. Most common, some gets a set of new or like new tires already mounted on same bolt pattern rims, CHEAP. There is absolutely no evidence out there of an outie wheel ever being installed on a new '65 F 100. If anyone has any proof, I'd love to see it.

The burden of proof lies with those saying there was. Please, don't give us parts book claims, which seems to be taken as gospel around here. Do you have any factory period photos with this wheel? I made this challenge before, no takers. I not holding my breath. I have hundreds of period photos of '65's with "innie wheels", zero with "outie wheels". You can get away with baloney with your beer drinking buddies, but not on a global forum.

Wrong all all accounts triple.
Just because in your limited experience you have no knowledge of a 65 outie wheel sure doesn't mean that they never existed.
I say limited experience because of the tens of thousands of 1965 F100s built, you have only seen pictures of hundreds of them.
I don't know if their were outies in 65 or not and I don't really care.
I am amused that your panties are in a wad over this.

After several years in the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne division as a Infantry Paratrooper (11B1P) cross trained as a Sniper I got a real feel for what fighting is. This here is spirited conversation. Fighting is a whole other ordeal.

I did the Gulf War, and other interesting things for Uncle Sam.
It sure did supply me with a healthy dose of perspective.
As for the hubcaps, unless one is trying to sell a high point restoration at someplace like Barrett-Jackson, I'm not sure why it matters to have this level of precision.
