66 F100 update

It’s been awhile since I have posted any updates, today I finally received the new tires and wheels for the old girl, I’m very satisfied with how they turned out. Due to the CV front suspension and the original rear end I had to special order them to get the offset and lug pattern I needed, I wanted to eliminate the rear spacer adapter and get a custom pair of new shoes, since the pollen is crazy here I figured I would post a picture rather than turn it yellow by cruising around, that will happen this weekend.

That is one handsome truck. You can see the thought and good work that went into this gem. Something to be proud of. Very nice.

Great looking truck. Do you have the specs for the wheels? Back spacing and such. I have the same combo of a CV front with stock rear and have been struggling with ordering wheels. Thanks in advance.

The wheels are 20 in American Racing Torque thruster II’s, I chose them because of the tire selection available, the rears have a 5x5 offset and the front is a 1”positive offset I am running Nitto 555 G2’s. American racing was the easiest to deal with but that being said it was still a 10-12 week waiting period because the were a custom wheel, I used a local tire shop in town and the owner has a history of custom builds so he did all the measurements because AR requires a custom build or spec sheet.

I hope this helped
