68Eddie I don't know where you live but when you go looking for tires try to find either a Discount Tire store or a America's Tire store they are the same company. I needed a 14 inch tire for my 1967 Mercury Cougar and they had some sitting on the shelf. They also have IMO the best customer service of any tire store that I have ever used.

Here are a couple of threads that talk about Camper Special Wheel and tire size, and hubcaps for these trucks. There is information on the innie and outie style hub caps.

These r not what some people call dog dish .
If you move the rule over even with the end of hubcap ( clamp part ) it will probably measure 15"
As another poster commented , these look like they would not gripe a wheel tightly , so they not stay on long ?????????????????
These look 2 me 2 b 15" , fit 15 inch rims .

RichS2659, it does have a Dana 60 rear. Thank you for those links, they have master catalog part numbers and everything. That was a simple observation I missed, and now I have my own wheel cover collection. I could cut holes in them where the axel and lugs stick out. Also, rtv silicon is a great adhesive for stuff that falls off, even if it is a hack it might work. Or just fill the hubcaps with dog food. Or carry a bag and scoop under the seat and throw the food out when the caps come off. How about trim rings?

Great information ! This helps me also .
Does this info work for a F100 back wheel wells ?
My F100 has inner fender walls . I do not know if these trucks with Dana axles have inner fender walls ? If it does have inner fenders then these size tires should fit on my truck . Well I will be using 17" rims w/4" or 4.5 " backspacing so this may not work 4 me - any way this does help my greatly because I do plan to use some 15' rims at times to show off my hubcap collection ! I ask because this would affect me trying to fit these tire sizes .
Thankx 4 the help .
