factory rims
Does anyone have a picture of the factory aluminum mags that came on these trucks? I came across a set of inverted five spokes today but they do not have any center caps. I know they are factory, I just have not seen them in a long time.

All of the factory rims had the 3 threaded holes for the black plastic center caps (although the later model chrome will fit also).
If they are not tapped for the centers, then they are aftermarket.
I found 2 black plastic centers today but they had light cracks in between the mounting holes. The black plastic caps are very hard to find.

I always thought they were factory. I have only seen them on the ford trucks. Now I am going to have to go back to the yard. It should have ford stamped on them if they are factory, right?

This is where I found the photo. This site shows 1982 to 1984 15x6 ford trucks. They looked in good shape, but could use a good scrubbing. Should I buy them if they are factory just so they won't be destroyed?

Stosh,we're both wrong.I found a pic...
I have NEVER seen these wheels before on these trucks except for this picture,so If I were you,as long as the price is right,I would grab them.You could probably make alot off of them once you clean them up.

Wow, I guess they are OEM.
IMO, they look too "busy" for our body style and would only be valuable to the right person. Kind of like the one year only 87 Flareside fenders I have.
They would be worth a lot more if you had the center caps as well.

Yes, I have a set. I came across an 87 Flareside in the yard and they were the only good parts left on it.
I wish I knew someone that had an 87 and needed them. They were only made for one year and I imagine are very hard to find.
Sorry for the
