I'd like to see how well some newer stang wheels would work on an F-100. It looks pretty good when I picture it in my head.

I saw a F 100 today that was running Chrysler Newyorker deep dish steel wheels with baby moons. The truck was painted matt black and red, dropped, with straight lake pipes. Kinda rat rod style. The old 300 was screaming!
