bolt pattern on 52 F3

Does the bolt pattern on my 1952 f3 match the 8bolt pattern on say late 70's/80's 3/4 ton pickups? right now it has 8 bolt 17's on the rear and 8 bolt 16's on front

I think the bolt pattern is the same up to the mid-late '80s when they changed to a metric pattern. I am sure someone will be along give you a more diffenate answer.

Bob's right, but it extends even farther - Ford used the same wheel pattern up until '97

Not all F350's were 8 lug / 6.50 bolt circle

F3: 1948/52 = 8 lug; 6.50 bolt circle

>> F350: 1953/1966 = 6 lug; 7.25 bolt circle <<

F350: 1967-late 1990's = 8 lug; 6.50 bolt circle

Thanks Numbers I was looking for that information, I just traded my '62 Mercury Unibody for a'52 F3 and needed to find out what other rims I could use on it. Even these ancient threads come in handy now and then.

8 lug wheels on a 6.50" bolt circle: 1948/52 F2/F3 / 1953/98 F250 / 1967/98 F350 / 1969/74 E300 / 1975/2014 E250/350.

F250/350's went to metric wheels in 1999, but no Econoline of any year has metric wheels.
