73-96 1/2 ton trucks all have the same bolt pattern-5x5.5
So wheels on a 1/2 ton Ford up to 96 will fit.

Not quite: 1980/83 F100's have a 4.50" bolt circle.

Ford advertised these models as a "Light Truck."

In addition to the smaller wheels, the front/rear brakes are smaller than the 1980/83 F150's used, as are the front/rear springs and shocks.

btw: In late 1976 Ford introduced their first optional styled steel and aluminum wheels-half ton trucks only.

As I was typing my post, I thought about mentioning this, b/c I remembered you saying this previously, but the likely hood(odds) of finding a 80-83 F100 is slim to none, which is why I didn't even mention it.
