I just bought a 56, and I want to try and stay as original as possible.

As you can see the front has outie hubcap rims.
The rears are innie hubcap rims, which I believe are the originals as the spare has innies too..


I am looking to buy some replacements, but I can't find any used...
Any ideas?

 

I saw that truck on Denver craigs for a while now, cool old truck, I have rims, but I have someone in line to get a couple as soon as I can dig them out of the barn.

 

Let me know when you do and I will buy them off of you.

 

If you're just looking for 1956, you may be looking for a loooong time. You can use any of the following innies:

15" innie wheels: 1955/64 F100's, some 1965/66 F100's. 1966 was the last year for innies.

Outie wheels introduced in 1965 F100's, but aren't commonplace until 1967. 1967 and later are all outies.

 

Kevin. I guess I am the someone??

I actually found a set of brand new never used factory stock 5" wide 5 on 5 1/2 gennie (wheel vintague) last week.

As I have understood wheel vintage no longer produces these 5" wide factory stock wheels, they have the 4" for a small fortune each and they have the 6" but the 5" seems to be obsolete.

But I found 4 pcs for a bargain on our beloved facebook.

So I can pass them along to the next guy in line, if thats ok with you

though if you have one good 5" left over I am interested as a spare....?

Thanks Kevin, Hope your leg is healing well

 

Bye the way

Welcome to the addiction Nathan Davidsson

I am also in the process of making a close to factory stock restoration, with some additions to stock that is.......

Check out my restoration web site below.

 

Jimmy sorry I drug me feet on this one, with the road trips, Hernia, now the leg and all the daily things to do around here. I'm glad you found some.


Nathan I put my email address on your profile page so if you want 2 rims send me an email

 

Hey Kevin, that's no problem, I told you I could wait but this deal was to good to let it pass.

But I still need 1 extra 5" rim

And your health is priority 1!

 

I have 4 15'' innie wheels and 4 16'' innie wheels all sandblasted and sprayed colonial white base/clear coat.
Will decide this spring which set to use on next project.
