rims on 66

I have a 79 ford 4x4 with magnesium rims on it. Fixing to buy a 66 swb custom. Will the rims off this 79 fit the 66? I got this extra set and didn't want to have to buy another set.
Thanks

I'm pretty sure the lud/bolt pattern is the same 5.5 on 5; others know for sure; I recommend you measure the bolt holes across to be 100%.
Even some dodge's have the same lug pattern.

It is my understanding that all F100s and F150s from at least 1957 thru 1996 used wheels with 5 lugs and 5 1/2 spacing. The backspacing may be the only issue.

Yep they'll fit, I think it is even earlier though, like 1955, all Ford 5 lugs on trucks were 5 on 5 1/2 till they went metric in 97 with that body style. The 8 lugs were 8 on 6 1/2 until 99, when I bought my superduty and my rims didn't fit.
