Hello everybody i'm new to the fourm. I just acquired a 1965 F 100 352 v8. I wanted to know where is a good source to find stock wheels for my truck to replace the after market wheels the truck came with and also a good source for hub caps I live in Scottsdale az thanks any info would be great.

 

Welcome to FTE! You could try the classifieds here or maybe eBay?

 

You've got some fabulous wrecking yards pretty close to you that are the envy of everyone on this board. Try Desert Valley or Mariposa in Phoenix.

Thanks for the info if anyone on this fourm in az has any wheels avaliable let me know.
I also would like to know what the stock rear end gear ratio is thanks again.

 

Welcome to FTE

There are two different types of wheels, two different types of hubcaps. F100's have 5 lug wheels on a 5.50" bolt circle.

1) "Innie" wheel, so called because the hubcap (9 1/2" O/A diameter) snaps onto table located on the inside of the wheels center section. Last year for these wheels was 1966.

2) "Outie" wheel, so called because the hubcap (10 1/4" O/A diameter) snaps over tabs located on the outside of the wheels center section. Introduced in 1965, similar wheels used thru 1996.

There are two types of innie and outie hubcaps: Stainless steel (Custom Cab/Ranger) and painted (Standard Cab). The innie stainless hubcap has been reproduced.

Consider joining FTE's AZ Chapter. Bill W is the chapter leader, lives in Tucson, has several of these trucks. Garbz2 (Dave) lives in Glendale, both may have extra wheels.

My sister lives in McCormick Ranch, her house is the only one on the entire street with pine trees in the yard. No desert landscaping, nary a cactus.

 

How rare are the 16" innie wheels?

 

Welcome to FTE!

I am a bit north of you almost to carefree highway.

DVAP has what you need but are kind of pricey.

 

Hey guys thanks for the info I'm in the McCormick ranch area I will check out the places for wheels looks like LMC TRUCK has repo hubcaps. Are the innnie wheels hard to find if so I will go with the outies

Has any one changed out te diff to get a little more speed on the highway whats a good ratio my truck is bone stock except the ugly aftermarket wheels on it. I would upload a picture if I knew how.

 

Both Blue Oval Truck Parts in Anaheim and the Truck and Car Shop in Orange have the repopped innie stainless steel hubcaps.

When doing a resto, it's a good idea to have every repro parts sellers catalogs. All sell to each other and to the general public alike, so the prices for the same parts will vary.

15" x 5 1/2" innie wheels will be found on all 1954/66 F100's. The innie wheels used prior to 1954 are only 4 1/2" wide.

Outie wheels are faaar more plentiful since variations in width were used thru 1996, but the 1965/66 outie stainless steel hubcaps (C4AZ-1130-A - same as 1964 Galaxie) are not reproduced.

The AXLE code is stamped on the Warranty Plate, located on the left door face below the latch. Post what it is.

Whiz up from Northern from McCormick Parkway, see if you can spot the house with pine trees. It's on the east...lake side.

 

Here ya go. Now ya know how. We love pic's

It seems awkward, but whenever you "insert a picture" to one of these threads, the forum is looking for the picture somewhere on the web (which is always available) rather than from somewhere on your hard drive (which isn't always available).

While you're making a post on FTE, select the pic you want to post from your Photobucket album. When the large version of the pic is open, right mouse click on it and select "View Image Info". The image info will be highlighted and will look something like this:
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...ghtsafter1.jpg

Copy that highlighted info (right click / copy).

When you have the spot in your post where you want the pic to be placed, select the "Insert Image" icon at the top of the post (looks like a mountain) and paste (right click / paste) the image info you copied in the highlighted box (just shows "http://" when it opens).

Your pic will be placed in the post.

 

I can answer your question with one word. Very. That is if you are talking about innie wheels that are 16" x 5 lug to fit slicks. The 15" by 5 lug are more common and easier to find as I come across those on a regular basis in the pull and save up here. When I started looking in ernest for the 16 x 5 lug wheels it took me nearly a year to gather up 5 of them and all of them I found purley by luck just looking for something else. If you are searching all I can say is good luck.

 

Stockton Wheel - Products Smoothie - GM Rally - Milner - Henry

The Henry 36 is available new and will accept the ford innie cap 15 through 17" and has a 5 on 5.5 lug pattern. Stockton is under new ownership and back in biz!

Stock wheels will not clear disc brake upgrades on 65s.

Garbz

 

I better go check I know I have at least two 16" here. I really need to get more organized with all my parts
