My wife & I were out walking the other day and one on Main st. caught my eye, I poked her and said look at those wide white walls, she said YUK. I had to agree, I think I like them better on some cars 50s. IMHO

Hey there, I saw this picture on a site a while ago. I think the white walls look nice on this setup.
No info on the truck, but it looks like a 65 long bed.

Wide whites on passenger cars: 5" were used through 1950; 4" were used through 1955, 3" were used though 1961. 2" were used through 1964.
From 1963 through the mid 1980's most cars had only a 1" white wall.
From the mid 1980's thru the 1990's, the white wall tire was 1/2" wide.
As original, 1965 F100's could be ordered with a 1" white wall tire.
Factory photos show 3" wide whites used from 1956 thru 1960 on F100's.
From 1961/63, the photos show a 2" white wall.
From 1964 thru the early 1980's, all the factory photos show a 1" white wall.

Buety is in the eye of the beholder. Thanks for the pics Matt. I like the black and red one for wide whites. Laying frame as I know it is a matter of personal taste. Just like wide whites, SBCs, darkside, or factory original. I love them ALL.
