Question bolt pattern and backspacing

Anybody out there know the bolt pattern diameter and backspacing for a 69 f100? want to order new wheels for it but it's at the paint shop and I can't get down there to get the specs.

5x5 1/2" is the pattern.
Depending on how wide a wheel will depend on the back spacing.
I have 8" wide rears on mine and I think they are 4" bs or maybe 3 7/8"? What ever was std for white wagon wheels.

Freight train is right on the bolt pattern but the stock ford wheel has zero degree backspacing. ( I am told ) go to www.discount.com/dtcs/infowheeloffsets.dos this shows all about offsets

I don't think the original wheels had ZERO backspacing. Most all were near centered, but not quite.

If you order wheels for a truck like ours, it will come with whatever it's called for anyway(at least it should! ).
