New Father Son Project

Hi all! Just wanted to drop a quick intro. bought my son a 68 f-250 2wd for a decent price. Runs and drives just need some suspension brake and carb love to make it dependable. Anyone know what the lug pattern for this vehicle?

8 x 6.5 ......

If you've got 16.5s.. switch to 16s because 16.5s have a VERY limited and dwindling selectio.

Welcome to


Being a Calif. truck hopefully it's not rusted very bad. With it needing some suspension brake and carb love to make it dependable I hope you didn't pay the $2495.00 asking price.
Sit awhile and read through the upgrades and what you plan on doing. Work out a game plan on how you want to tackle the upgrades.
Whatever your budget is, double it then add 25% this figure might be closer to what you guestimate.

Wheels can be gotten from up to '98 F-250/350's (not 99+ Super Duties), and up to 2013 Econoline E-250/350's.

Wish mine had the original CA plates when I bought her. Their worth at least $200.

Yes, Rich is referring to compatible bolt patterns (8x6.5).
