wheel question

Hello everyone. I came across a 75 f150 2wd with a 390 in it. It has some sweet wheels. The guy says they are the same size as stock. Does anyone know if those wheels should fit my 74 f100 2wd. The guy wants $200 for the whole truck. If I get it and the wheels will swap then I can use the 75 as my beeter truck and the 74 would have nice wheels. The body of the 75 is in tough shape but the interior is mint. Thanks for the help

The guys says the motor has about 35,000 to 40,000 on a complete rebuild. He parked it for a year, went to start it and it will not fire but turns over good. When it turns over you can smell gas. I will throw some plugs in it and check the cap, etc. and probably a fuel filter. Hope its something easy but for $200 I could afford to stick a little money into it. If its still there I'm bringing it home next week and I will post some pics. Any other ideas on what to check ?

If the 390 is good you got your 200 bones right there, the FE is a great motor, sounds like it's just lacking a spark, keep us posted.
