I would give anything to know how your truck is or has 8 Lug wheels? on it? if that's the case I would be more than happy to purchase your entire front axle with the 8 lug wheels, tires, hubs, etc...

Johnny, It is not unusual for a lot of our trucks to be 8 lug. I don't see enough info to know what your truck is, but f2 and f3s both had 8 lugs. Maybe you have an F350 with six lugs? Only pic I could see is the beautiful job done on the factory stake bed and faithful reproduction of the factory stake sides. No truck shown though.

Wow, I thought I new 53-56 Ford trucks like the back of my hand... I have owned twelve of them... but never seen an 8 lug pattern. So,, I guess I need to ask the question... is this a newer style 8 lug pattern, or more like the 6 lug pattern that ford had for many years on the heavy 1 tons and above? Maybe a picture would help me get it?

The 53-56 F-250s could all have been fitted with the same single style 16" x 6" as used on 48-52 F-2s. Eight on 6.5" pattern, one piece. K-H #31282/Ford #7RD 1015-B. Pictured. Stu
