Ford pickup rims

[wyonorm]

I need some plain painted steel rims for my half ton pickup. They need to be 15" by at least 7" wide. Is there such a thing?

Thanks,
Norm

Year, bolt pattern?

'66 5-5.5"

Look for Jeep wheels.

Ford Pickup from '66 to '96 has the same 5.5 bolt pattern and
the regular steel wheels will take the same 10 1/8" hubcap as
your '66 pickup. Many of the late '80's and '90's Ford Pickups and
Vans had 6.5" wide steel wheel.

The '66 and earlier F-100's used the same hub cap mounting as the '40-48 cars, and '40-66 Lt 1/2 tons.. All '67 and later F-100's use the external hub cap knobs, early hub caps will not attach to the '67 and later wheels. The F-150's and many of the Ford vans had wide wheels, 5 on 5.5 bolts, however, the hub cap mounting will not work with the early hub caps.. Been there, done that....

hi Bill, I beg to differ, I worked for Ford from 1963 to 1969.

The 1965 1/2 ton Ford pickup used the INNIE hubcap nubs,
same as the '40 to '48 Cars and pickups.

The 1966 `1/2 ton Ford pickup used the OUTER hubcap nubs,
same as the newer pickups.

Thanks all.

My '66 came with 15" rims with the locking rings and they were innies.

Here is a post, I'm listing below, that was posted on 'Ford Truck Enthusiasts'
a couple years ago, by a Ford Parts Manager, and it co-insides with what I
believe to be fact about '65 and '66 Ford 1/2 ton pickup wheels and hubcaps.
I installed enough of them back in the day when they were new, working for Ford.

As original:

1961/65 F100's came with 'INNIE' wheels. The 9 1/2" innie stainless steel only bottlecap hubcap (has 12: /_\ around the outer perimeter) has been reproduced = C3TZ1130A

1966 F100's came with 'OUTIE' wheels. The 10 1/4" outie hubcaps are not reproduced. The stainless steel version is the same as 1964 Galaxie: C4AZ1130A. There are TWO different versions of this painted cap...white and argent.

1966 F100 10 1/4" outie hubcaps (painted/stainless) have a raised embossed slash thru the center with FORD above/below in a 1/2 moon crescent pattern. There is NO SUCH THING as a 9 1/2" version of these outie hubcaps.

These two hubcaps are pictured in the 1964/72 Ford Truck Parts Catalog in TEXT, SECTION 12, Page 1. Type 1 (innie) & type 2 (outie).

Since wheels get swapped around, who knows what wheels are on what year F100 today?

In 1966, FoMoCo offered full WHEEL COVERS as an option for F100 2WD & 4WD's. The same covers were standard equipment on 1966/77 [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]Bronco's[/COLOR][/COLOR]. Shown as type 5 in above reference.
