Yep, very common practice around here. Not sure if OP is from around me tho, lots of farmers use that method.

The paint sure shined up nicely. I'm afraid to buff mine, then you'd see all the little dents everywhere!

Awesome, but I think I would ditch the split rimes and get a set of steelies of a Ford Van as all of the eight lugs on them will fit your truck.

Yeah, go with a set of 16 inch E250 rims and you'll be much better off.

White wheels were standard on the F250 4x4 in the Custom trim, and Argent Silver for the Ranger and XLT trim.

Regardless, I think white wheels on this orange and white Highboy would look great!

The split rims are kind of neat, old school. but they suck. tubes and nless you do your own tire work hard to get anyone to work on.

Probably a DANA 44. the door tag will tell you.

Hm that's awesome! You say you found a registration from North Dakota? Esmond is a very small town here in central north Dakota. I know a couple guys that actually work (volunteer) for the fire department there! Awesome find
