The Ford Barn

Unless you are being a purist for a restoration (which I suspect 95% of the people on the Fordbarn are) using a '41 wheel with the sloped drop will be much preferred over a '40 wheel, experienced the first time you change that tire yourself. Doesn't seem like a big deal, but the slope really makes fitting the tire and tube much easier.

installing or removing the tire...
