Yep you can use any ford 8 lug up to 97.
you probably already know this but I recently found out you need at least 16.5" rims to clear front drum brakes. The rears can take 16's but not the front with drims. Fronts with disc can use 16's.

I never heard of the drums causing wheel interference, I know that the camper special discs won't accept 15" wheels. Interesting nonetheless. I have discs also so not a problem for me.

I replaced the front drums on my 68 F250 and could not get the 16's from my 72 on the front. The rims were hitting the drums with a 1/4 to 1/2 inch before the wheel could properly seat on the drum.
do you have a 68 F100??
