5 on 5.5. Some older jeeps and scouts had the same. I would have to say you have a large bearing. Small bearings went out in the mid 70s. Oh the big cars also had the same bolt pattern.(Lincolns,grand marquis)

Big Bolt Dodge is also the same... and not to say ur wrong about all the big cars... but my buddy's 74 Thunderbird wasn't the same bolt pattern as my 78 150 4x4 I thought this was unusual though.

The F100, F150, fullsize Bronco, fullsize Van all have the 5 on 5.5" pattern. The same pattern was used from the 60's (or earlier) up to '96. I used to have factory aluminum wheels off a '91 F150 mounted on my '73 F100.

Some of the early eighties trucks had the 5 on 5" bolt pattern like cars, so don't be surprised when you see this.

Jeep CJ's and 1/2 ton trucks were the same, International scouts and 1/2 tons were, all Dodge 4x4's except 74-79 were the same, some Dodge 4x2's were, mostly after about 85-86 were the same as a Ford 1/2. If you find some wheels on a Dodge that you like, make sure they are aftermarket, stock Dodge wheels had a smaller center hole and won't fit a Ford.
I have never seen a full size Ford/Lincoln/Merc car that had a 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern.
