1974 Ford Courier

Hi Folks,

I am new to the forum! Just purchased a 1974 Ford Courier, and have a couple of questions. Haven't picked it up yet, but already wondering-

First, are there any common problems associated with the early Courier?

Second, what is the recommended wheel and tire size, and where can I buy a new set of aftermarket wheels and tires to fit this truck?

Thanks!-AJ

Rust is the biggest issue. All of them I dealt with we're 2.3 Lima motors they are pretty much bullet proof.

We have sorry I have owned our courier for 15 yrs. It is the best little truck ever.it never let us down or stuck anywhere. It's been everywhere sandy washes, rocky and muddy mountains. We have hauled everything you can think of. Loaded it down to the point of have a couple of guy sit on hood. So we could get across town to scrap yard. My husband passed away 4 months ago. It's for his memory that I will never get rid of our truck. But if you could see it.you would wonder why I'm keeping it. I will say one thing. Have fun when it comes to bleeding out breaks.lol.

Thinking they use 6 bolt wheels, and 14 in tires, like stated frame rust, and some used the mazda engine, and were 4 as well as 5 speed.
