Had no problem getting these rotors. If not in stock, could be ordered from the Los Angeles Ford parts warehouse, then pick 'em up the next morning.
No doubt but if you asked about GVWR and I said 4700 it could be the wrong one as both trucks are 4700.
Now if you asked power or non-power the same could be true as we do not know what rotor has what wheel pattern.
Then you get someone like me that puts a power booster & master on a truck that was non-power brakes from the factory.

(yes, I HAVE seen this before)
Yep that is what I would say happened too.

Dave - I'm confused. You said this earlier here. What am I missing?

Let me wipe the egg off my face. Brakes are not the same size – my bad. Big wheel brakes are 2-1/4 x 11 with tag
Small wheel brakes2-1/2 x 10 with tag Hope that helps Dave ----
edit: I want to say the drum brakes when I looked them up on line parts stores did not list by size but power & non-power brakes. Been a few months when I went thru all this to rebuild the big wheel drum brakes.
I have the same wheels on my truck just not a weathered but that could be because someone painted them flat black.
I like them as they are right for the year truck. As for the lugs how often are you putting the wheels off & on? Once on they are there for a long time other than flat or to rotate maybe even to check the brakes, again on for along time so I don't have to deal with the lug nuts.
I think my tires are 235/70/R15. I don't know if they will pass safety, low tread, to get plates and have been looking at different one to get a feel for tread & price.
I don't really need a snow/mud tire (ok maybe mud) and don't know how a street only tire would look but I have a lot of time before I NEED to get them.
If you want to clean up the wheels you have try soap & water maybe even a weak acid of some sort for alum. wheels.
Once clean you can then paint them. Check out Youtube for "how to paint rims with plasti dip". https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q...ti+dip&spf=914
If you don't like the way they came out peel it off and start again. I have been giving this some though as the flat black will not go too good with my colors of red & white.
I have not tried Plasti Dip on anything so you are on your own there.

Are the holes on the wheel suppose to look like a figure 8? It took me about 15 minutes to get the lug nuts on due to the studs not quite lining up correctly. Had to give some love taps to make them line up. Maybe my lug nuts are wrong? What kind do you have?
I will have to look as I don't remember what the truck has.
If the holes in the wheel are not round that would be a uni-lug wheel and takes special off set washer with the nuts.
I do have a car with that type and has wheel spacers and it is not fun to get everything lined up.

So I got the column repaired but had an issue with the cheap lock cylinder. It came apart as I was wiggling it to remove it from the column after a test fit.
Thats what I get for paying $10 instead of getting a quality part. Ordered the motorcraft cylinder. Should get it today.
Fuel line repaired.
Transmission gasket replaced along with filter.
flushed coolant (it was very gross looking!)
Then I waited several painful hours at tire shop for new tires to be put on and everything aligned.
Then something happened. I was driving it around town today and when I came to a stop sign it died. It would crank but wouldn't start. Pushed it into a parking lot and when I opened the hood I could immediately smell gas. I don't think I flooded it but maybe I did. It has been almost 15 years since I drove something that had a carb on it. Is it possible it flooded while I was driving it? I wouldn't think so but maybe???
Anyway I just floored it and cranked and it eventually started up. I just found the whole thing to be odd.
