I only go by correct Ford terminology when describing parts, and I only use genuine Ford parts on my vehicles.

I've never heard the term "wagon wheels" inre to spoked style steel wheels...and I've been in parts biz for 48 years, in the car hobby for 54 years.
Have you ever heard "you learn something new every day" ? You should learn it and except it. Why? Because you don't know everything Billy my boy......

I deal with Ford parts here on FTE, not parts made in the aftermarket sector.

If people use the wrong terminology when describing parts, they'll get the wrong parts...or no parts at all.

It's true...I don't know everything, but with 35+ years of Ford parts experience, 54 years in the old car hobby and the fact I've owned over 80 FoMoCo vehicles...

I know far more about Ford vehicles and parts, and the history of the company, than anyone else here on FTE does.

Enjoy your cookie sir.

Common terminology does not equal wrong terminology. An original name of a wheel style name that ford copied the design of doesn't make it wrong either. What do you call the torq thrust copies they put on the late mustangs? styled cast wheels?

The above might even be genuine Ford, as Ford began offering this same style of wheel (15" x 8" = D8TZ1007D / Stamped: LK by the valve stem) in 1977.
Since we've went this direction NumberDummy, the wheels on the truck in the photo could not be "genuine Ford". The "Ford" wheels had center caps held on by 3 screws spaced unequally between the lug nuts. These wheels obviously don't have the screw holes. Clue #2, this truck appears to have 7" wheels on the front & 8" on the rear.

Thanks for letting us know that you know "far more" about Fords than anyone else on this forum though.


Hopefully I can continue to tolerate this kind of attitude because I am sure someday I will need to use some of your knowledge.

I did not say the wheels were genuine Ford, I said Ford offered a like wheel and they could be genuine.

I'm familar with how the hubcaps attach on the Ford wheel. Three expandable plastic inserts fit into the wheel, then the three hubcap screws fit into them.
