In all my years gotta say I don't recall ever seeing a 8 lug 15" rim, seriously doubt they exist. 6 lug yea but not a 8 lug.
1967-91 F250 - 350 16x6 8H x 6.5"
92-97 F250 - 350 16x7 8Hx 6.5"
98 250 and 350 up went to 16H x metric pattern.
(Talking single wheel of course)
I know I never seen a F-250 with a light duty front axle (D44) and a heavy duty rear (full floater) with a GVWR rating of "8600lbs". Not something remotely likely or possible Ford would do that as a factory offered configuration. Someone swap in a d44 at some point yea but not originally equipped.
Someone would have to post a build sheet of one before I'd ever buy into that as "fact".

Oh and I found out on another board that Ford maybe did make a 15"8 lug in the early 60's.

Take these white spokes for example, very common wheel and available in 4,5,6 and 8 lug versions.
Try getting a par listing a "95 F250" as your vehicle a minute, see what it tells ya.

On the 15 inch topic IDK what axles it had but I know for fact that my buddy joe put 15's on his 75? F250 camper special with the 400. He did it for the side wall for off road use. It was years ago 16 ish but I remember calling him retarded then and getting a off road lesson from him that taught me nothing.
Old thread .... cool read.

Hello everyone, I just ran across this website while researching bigfoot cruiser. I have an original sales brochure for them that I just listed for sale on line.
The bigfoot cruiser came in the F-150 and F-250
The F-150 came with a 5.0 w/ 5speed or 5.8 automatic
The F-250 came with a 7.5 and automatic
They were dark shadow blue with regatta blue interiors.
I have all of the specs including a complete list of aftermarket items that came on either model. They were a ship through program vehicle through particpating dealers, Bigfoot 4x4 and Sherer Truck Equipment in Missouri.
I would be glad to post any info or scan this one page document to upload to this website for all to get info from if needed.
There is no mention of a lift kit in this sales flyer. The came with roll bars, Weld wheels, tonneau covers, power rear windows, and a bunch of other stuff.
Let me know.

I have a !987 F-250 Ford Bigfoot Cruiser that I am restoring but the rear window motor and rubber bungie are worn out. I want to restore it to as close to off the line as possible and this really makes the truck. If anyone has any not too worn rear window motor and accessories for these kind of trucks please let me know

Bigfoot cruiser edition came out in 1987, it came with the ranger or the f150. the f150 was an xlt lariat, and had either 33 or 35 for its tires. it has a power rear window, and has a body lift. it came with a carberated 302 v8. reason why thier was a recall was dude to that the tires were rubbing up agianst the break lines causing the breaks to fail. thats why thier were accidents, and people threatened to sue. so they had a recall, they would either trade ur car in or give u ur money back, or they would let u keep it. if u by one check, the lift, motor, and break lines.
