Wheel Question

I'm fairly new to 60's Fords so I wasn't really sure what innie and outie wheels were. A few weeks ago I was taking a wheel off my 66' F250 4x4 and the wheel was staring me in the face and I realized, Oh, that's a innie.
I have a 65' F100 that I am robbing parts off of and I decided to see what wheels it had. 3 of the wheels are just run of the mill 16" outie modern looking wheels. But the forth looks like a innie without the tabs around the ID. It's also not a lock ring wheel like my 250 wheels are. It is 16", 5 lug wheel. So is it a innie? Did it use special hub caps and didn't need the tabs? Is it right for a 65' ?

Thanks

Definitely not what is called an innie. Also, I'm not aware of innies being used for 16" applications.

The earlier trucks, post war through the '50s, all had 16" x 4.5" innies as the standard wheel. Ford number 8C 1015 / K-H 31283. Stu

Here's my F250 16" lock ring wheels. My 66' has 4 of them.
Truckdog, would these be correct for a 1966 F250?

The wheel pictured is Ford 8J 1007 / Budd 60880-1. If I'm correct Bill will tell us the Ford number changed to B7TZ 1007-A. It is a 16" x 5.5" semi-drop center two piece wheel having a Firestone RHP outer rim. It was an optional wheel in 1966. Also optional was a one piece drop center 16" x 6", early number 7RD 1015B / later B9TZ 1015A. Early K-H 31282 / later K-H 43552. Bill may have a better reference, but my K-H references don't say when the change occurred from innie to outie, although I ***-u-me it correlates to the number changes.

As a rule the two part semi-drop center wheels were a heavier duty option. That despite the fact of being the 1/2" narrower than the one piece version. Stu
