Typically, Ford trucks of that class are 5 on 5-1/2. Ford cars were 5 on 5.

The same bolt pattern in the F1/F100 from 48 to 96 so all of these will fit.

Thanks for the affirmation Fomoko1.
I don't know about you guys but no matter how brief my response might be, every time I hit SEND, I'm certain I screwed something up.

Most of the usual suppliers like Mid 50 have the correct rims.

Most Ford cars were 5 on 4 1/2", Mopar vehicles and light trucks were also 5 on 4 1/2" (as well as most trailers). I think GM used the 5 on 5 for some of their larger cars, but mainly their cars were 5 on 4 3/4"

When buying wheels, also check the centerbore and offset as well as the bolt pattern.

Very true, I have a nice set of '98 Dodge rims, 5 on 5.5 and the center bore is too small for my Ford hubs.

Ford and Mercury passenger car wheels before 1948 are also 5x5.5 as well as some older Jeeps and old Chrysler Imperials in the 50s...

Chrysler Imperial 15 inch wheels from the mid 1950's will also fit the Ford trucks. Besides the usual painted rims...there was also a chrome wire wheel...if you come across any at a swap meet...make sure to measure, as the standard Chrysler, Dodge and DeSoto wires look identical.
