Neither had I until I got this old parts 'Burb that had been sitting in the farmers field for ump-teen years. The farmer said he special-ordered them so all his trucks would have the same size wheels, and the build sheet confirms it!

I read that thread on the truck and it looks like they never decided on whether it's a 1/2 or 3/4 ton.

72 CustomCamper · 01-11-2005, 03:06 AM

It has 1/2 ton hubcaps on it...

**tnblazerk5** · 01-11-2005, 12:14 PM

I've got two 10" deeps that were from a early 70's F250 that I bought for my longhorn at a show/swap meet in GA. May check the fords just don't tell anyone where they came from.

I can half confirm that. A few years ago, I grabbed the back half of a GMC C20 Custom Camper to use as a trailer. The front was toast, wheels gone, but the rear still had those 16.5x9.75 rims on it. The rear step bumper that was on the truck was not a slider, but that's 30 years down the road.

So I stuck some 12.50x33 AT's on them and called it good. Really fills the wheelwells. Not for sale, tho.

You can still buy the wheels new .They are aftermarket wheels. They make them in two different backspacings. You can contact a tire store and tell them you want the steel 16.5 x 9.75 wheels that take a factory hubcap and they should be able to get them .If you contact a custom only shop they will probably not have a clue though. If they sell tractor tires ,wheels ,etc .they can probably get them .I think they were around $70 each new a couple of years ago . I bought many of these over the years and new ones were always better .Most of the used ones I bought were bent from overloading.

when you say tractor tires ,wheels ,etc do you mean farm tractors or road tractors ?

f.monroe · 01-23-2005, 06:17 PM

Farm tractor tires etc. They usually know where to buy these wheels. A lot of farmers and ranchers in my area use them . A friend of mine bought some new ones to mount on his truck a couple of years ago.I have a friend with a tire shop and I will ask him if he knows where to get them .I will let you know .Frank

**tnblazerk5** · 01-23-2005, 06:57 PM
