help with hubs
have a 72 f100, currently has 8 lug 16in wheels. is there any reason why it would not be as simple as changing hub/ rotor assembly to put wheels on that i want? or, what do i have to do to put a nice set of cregar (for example) mags on it?

All 1953/79 F100's came with 5 lug wheels on a 5.50" bolt circle as did all 1975/96 F150's.
Some 1980/83 F100 wheels have a 5.50" bolt circle, some have a 4.50" bolt circle.
If your trucks VIN begins with F25 (F250) or F35 (F350), it's not an F100, which begins with F10.

Y = 360 2V.
L = Michigan Truck Assembly Plant
M63757 = 1972.
Where did you find this VIN? On the registration, or from the Warranty Plate, which is located on the left door face below the latch?
People replaced damaged left doors with used doors. 99% of the time they did NOT install the original Warranty Plate on the replaced door.
If it has 8 lug, 6.50" bolt patterned wheels, it could also be an F350, as the same wheels were used for both.

How many 1953/83 F100's came with 8 lug wheels? N-O-N-E = NONE!
Not only are the wheels between an F100 and F250 different, but so are the front/rear brakes, front/rear suspension, rear axle and the frame...just to name a few things.
My guess is...someone lost the title, or bought the truck as a theft recovery or from a junkyard, then used a title from an F100 to register it.
Or, a former owner swapped frames using one from a F250 on an F100.

Check the vin on the driver's side cab sticker and also on the frame . Someone could have changed the cab at one time or the door. Does it have a reconstruct title? Unless somebody changed out the front spindles and hubs and the rear axle to a Dana 60.
