Is this the rh-5° widowmaker?

Yes. The raised band like area seen on the concave rim side is the joint. I see you tried to private message me again, but there was no content. Was it a hiccup, and this solves it? Below is a cross section of the RH-5°. Stu

Let's see the rest of the truck, keep an eye out for some of the other versions of splits, better and more safe.

In my private message yesterday I recommended he find the 19.5" tubeless wheels. I avoided going into the explanation of other options because the 19.5" tubeless are his best solution matching closely his 7.00-18s. Finding 20" locking side ring tube type wheels would be fine, but sometimes I can see new guys eyes glazing over when we get into the subject. If it's something to hear about, please say. Stu

Truck looks to be in great shape. Here's another member's F-4 that has a set of the Budd 89340s I described. Stu

Great looking F4! I'm working on a '49 F4 also. The 19.5" wheels are a good choice for these trucks, I have a set that I will be using on mine. They also drive better with radial tires. I have a hoist under my Ford script bed as well. It was installed under the bed when the truck was about a year old. I did have to do a lot of repair work on the bed frame, as they welded it to the hoist frame and it had a lot of breaks in the bed crossmembers. I also have the racks for mine but the wood will need to be replaced.

I have a lot of memories hauling corn, hay rides and just running around in that old truck. It was used steady as a farm truck till about 6 or 7 years ago. I think the actual mileage is about 59000
