48 52 -53 56 Rim Differences
Are there differences between the 48 52 rims and the 53 56 rims. Found a set of blue painted hub caps like the ones on my 52, that measure 7 1/8 inside to inside won’t fit my 52 rims., Are they for 53 56 rims. Look like they are made for a “inner “ rim
Could they be for 15” rims
thanks,,
Tom

If you're talking about F1/F100 innie hubcap wheels, that part is all the same from 1940 to 1966. It's also the same size cap Ford cars used from 1940-48. F2/F250 had larger diameter hubcaps than the half tons. Perhaps that's what you found.
There are other differences between early and later wheels, size wise, but the hubcap bumps are the same.

1948/52 F1's use 6A-1130-A innie stainless steel hub caps, these were also used on late 1947 and 1948 Ford Passenger Cars.
1953/56 F100's originally used a similar hubcap, but it was painted. In the 1960's, Ford obsoleted it, replaced it with 6A-1130-A
6A will fit all 1948/52 F1, 1953/66 F100 innie wheels. 1966/96 Bronco, 1967/83 F100, 1975/96 F150 have outie wheels.
I don't know the O.D. of 6A, but 1957/60 F100 innies are 9 5/8" O.D., 1961/66 F100 innies are 9 1/2" O.D.

If you can show us what you have it might jog our memories. I'm not coming up with anything in my brain based on your description. Am I correct in my understanding your odd cap is identical to your originals, only smaller?

None of this makes any difference because if the truck is an F1, 6A-1130-A will fit any F1/F100 innie wheel, whether it's a 15, 16 or 17."
Maybe it's a F2?

. Picked up hub cap that look identical to the ones on my 52 F1, inside measurements are 7 1/8 while the ones on my 52f1 are 8 1/8 inside measurement.
wondering what they will fit. Perhaps they are made for some universal wheel. Will get pictures later as they are not at my location.
thanks for the interest,
Tom
