I had been looking for a while, Deadhead helped me with some he ran across, then this one fell in my lap. It has no rot, but rough all over. I have been all over it and it now runs and drives reliably. I will slowly work on originality and beauty now. Some b4 and after pics.

come and get them , I have some 9.75 and 8.25 you pick your poison , them with dogdish caps add to the patina , I looked threw about 3 sets just to get colored wheels for one of my trucks , its a lot of fun

I do have 8.25s , I need some front caps. I'm trying to decide on 16x8 fords I have(for tire selection) or the 16.5x8.25. If I end up with fresh springs I will probably do a small lift then the 9.75s would come into play.

most of the fords are 16x7 , I have 33x12.50x16.5 on one of my trucks and they clear just fine I might have some front caps , let me do a little checking ill get back with you , have you found any big blues for it yet , that's another hunt in its self

Nice!!! Glad you found one and an excellent one at that. Post up more pics when poss. Would love to see the SPID.

I've been meaning to send a PM - a local upholsterer replaced the vinyl windows in the K5 soft top I got from you with a really nice result.

I do have a set of big blues, funny you ask! That will be next when I do front end. I was guessing at fords width, but usually side with originals. I would be in to the caps if you have them, thanks!!

Have fun with it.

Nice, solid truck- did you find it locally? I was in Bristol at the haulmark factory several years ago. Glad you're saving it!

This one came out of Oregon. It was on here for sale but sold then I stumbled on it from another board member and bought it ,about 2 hrs away. Hallmark is not far from me, they build nice stuff. A lot of trailer/rv stuff around here.
